wont Start
the other day i went to start the car up and the starter was working fine but when the car went to turn over it only barely started smoked alot and turnd off.... i tried to start it again and they same thing happened... the fuel level was a little low so i went and filled the tank but it still wont turn over completely, smoked alot then turned off also i noticed a little oil leaking from under the car ... just wondering if anyone knows what is going on or knows how to fix it .

Probably flooded. Rmove your sprk plugs and check if they are wet w/fuel, if so then you need to remove the EFI relay and crank it over without the plugs a few seconds to remove fuel in engine. Clean the plugs w/ carb cleaner, let dry, then reinstall both plugs and relay and give it a try.

The relay is in the relay and fuse block next to the driver shock tower. Open it up and it is the upper right square shaped relay, I believe it's yellow. Pull it out carefully, you might need to pry it out but be carefull not to crack it. If in doubt download the Shop manual Under 3rd Gen section and see page Z-29, it is the one labled B1-02 (Main EGI relay).
