I BLEW THE PIG UP.... AGAIN! 900 1995

posted by  someone claiming to be General Patton on  Tue May 29 11:43 CST 2001 [RELATED]

This is the beloved 960........ Christine.....

Been mis-firing a little bit, cleaned up the spark plugs and re-fixed the harness.... AGAIN.... last week.

Today, leaving work 45 minutes ago.... started REAL ROUGH. Goosed the throttle, it didn't like that too well.

As it got warm, it laid down a HUGE billowing cloud of blue oil smoke, then it sputtered and barely made it to a parkling lot and died.

Looked at the dipstick. I'm down 2.5 quarts since last week!

Started again in a few minutes.... Smoked like a son of a bitch!

Interestingly, after it got good and hot, the smoke cleared and it ran fine. Haven't checked for codes yet.

Honestly.... this piece of shit will keep me from getting to work, possibly even getting my kids tonight. Wife is working. They are 30 miles apart in rush hour traffic.

Please, either post some advice or say a prayer.

Thanks.
