Sometimes after sitting for a while my car puffs a bit of blue smoke when I start it. What could be wrong? Do I need a new engine?
Also, my check engine light is flashing. Is this because of the blue smoke? Is it ok to drive the car until I can get it looked at? |
If the CEL is flashing, i would be wary of even running the engine, let alone driving it, it could indicate something catastrophic! Use a diagnostic tool like durametric if possible to pull the codes and post here for advice, or have the car towed to the closest shop to be looked at by a professional. Good luck!

I had my Porsche out for a nice drive yesterday, runnin sweet as you please. Then I heard this awful metallicy sound and the engine died. I tried restarting it and it won't fire - just that horrible sound. Must have tried it 20 times - nothing.
Think I should try it again after letting it sit overnight? |

So I was going down the road and my ims, aos, and water pump all went out at once, I didn't want a tow though so I eased it home. Do you think this hurt the engine?

The jacking points are just under the front & rear bumper with a farm jack, eh?
|
No, you screw the tow hook into the front bumper to use as a jacking point. In the rear you just stick the tongue of the jack in the exhaust pipe and lift it that way.

I knew the bumpers were rubber so I used the tops of the wheel wells. Not a good spot to jack from. :/ |
Well yeah, dumbass - how do you get the wheel off with the jack in the way??

Do I have to buy specialty muffler bearing grease from a Porsche dealership, or can I use the generic stuff that they sell at Pep Boys?
I'm only asking because I've been using generic headlight fluid for a couple of years with no ill effects and want to save a couple of bucks to buy a left-handed steel stretcher at HF this month... :D |

Has anyone ever had their instrument cluster back lights go out? I've checked the fuses and all are good. Is there a relay the lights are fed through? My next step is to remove the dash. Oh and BTW, I did try the manual intensity switch...I'm baffled.
