Smoke from engine
Hey guys:
I have a 2004 RX-8... 22k miles. Took the car for a spin and when I got back to my place, I turned the car off, and then all of a sudden smoke started coming out from the passenger side of the hood. I smelled burned oil and opened the hood but couldn't find any oil anywhere. Some background info -- I just experienced my first (and hopefully last) flooded engine four days ago. Couldn't get the engine to start using the deflood procedure so I had to have it towed to Mazda -- great thing is that they fixed it for free even though they said it was not under warranty since it was due to driver error -- whoops. I am going to take the RX-8 into the dealership Tuesday but if you guys have any suggestions, that would be great. I've learned a lot of great things and fixes on this car and would like to have some suggestions to help them fic this problem ASAP. Thanks for any help, -sjm |
