No Idle, Blue smoke
Now as far as I understand blue smoke is typical, most likly a screwed oil seal, so if your just gonna tell me that don't bother.
My main question is that if you absolutly blow your oil seal, will it cause your car to not idle? I tried adjusting the idle screw and that got me nothing. I had a huge leak in the one of the oil cooler lines and I know I ran dry at least twice before so I'm thinking thats how I poped the seal. Anyways will excess oil consumption screw with my idle? Tks

i say get your car's probelm taken care of as soon as you can..or just stopping driving it altogether. Rotaries are not made-tough engines, if something's up it should be fixed asap. Talk about instant Karma for rotaries....

hahah omg... ****.. sigh
Aight well the problem first started, and made my car virtualy undrivable over a month ago. It was while I was, of all things, launching for a race against a turboed laser, possably the fastest car in town. I had absolutly no chance in hell, but I got it all on video tape.. even me looking under the hood and checking out exhaust color.
The next day I drove it the 5 mins home parked it and have started it two times. First time to check to see if anew feul filter would fix it, then again to see where the oil was leaking from, it was from the braided lines going to the oil cooler. I'm trying to get money for an engine now because the $100 truck I bought is dying slowly, I bagged the living **** out of it in afew feilds to push me to fix my car faster... it's a tough lil mazda b2200
Anyways the cheapest rebuild within driving length of here is $1200 but I wanna get a street port so I'm guestimating $1500 plus I gotta replace little things like o rings on oil filter and the oil lines going to the oil cooler.
