im not sure. what i do know is when i inspect my spark plugs one of them has sign of having oil on it. so i reseal the spark plug tube and bought new set of plugs. and it worked on mine.

I think he was referring to the smoke now.

[Don't Worry, It's Just Me]

well i don't drive my car, it has some bad frame damage in the front, check my garage pics if you want to. i just start the car up every now and then just to run it and hear it's pretty sound. the car has 139,000 on it, and the guy i got it from didn't say anything about him doing the belts or anything, i don't even have a clue when the oil was changed.

[Don't Worry, It's Just Me]

im talkin about the smoke and the squeel.
Smoke: small-med puff on start then done
Squeel: only for about 1-1.5 seconds tops, only on start then done.

same here. when i bought my mr2 last may i have no idea when was the last time it was replaced. i got over excited for owning a mr2 coz i ve been wanting to have one for over a year. and then i found out a lot of wrong things about my car and the last owner lied to me about a lot of things.

[runabout93]

First thing I do when i get a used car... change the oil, plugs, and filters... check all of the fluids and topoff/replace as necessary. I would start by doing that first.

Always assume the previous owner was full of SH!T! They are not trying to be honest... they are trying to get rid of something they don't want anymore.

[Don't Worry, It's Just Me]

same here, the guy didn't even say anything was messed up with the frame, he told me about the rust and everything, and i just blew that off. bubt he didn't say a thing about the frame or and only told me about 24% of the rust. i got the car home and started taking the bumpers and everything off, and i was like HOLY ****!

[Don't Worry, It's Just Me]

oh i totally plan on doing all that before i even think about bringing it on the road.

[albertgunit101]

if you would read my thread about my rear suspension. you will find out how the last owner hide that from me. part of it was also my fault, im not gonna lie, coz i was too excited to own one. but the last owner lied about the engine and its miles.

runabout93 you are completely right. but i look at it this way, still as a good thing that i got my mr2 even though its really in bad shape. atleast now i know about it more and since im planning on buying another one in the next year or so. this time i know what i need to look for and im more experience. and did i mention when i was buying my mr2 i checked the coolant and my God i knew right at that moment they dont take care if this coz the coolant is BROWN.

[Don't Worry, It's Just Me]

me too i was WAY excited to finally be on the verge of owning a MR2 finally, i wanted one for over 6 years, and i finally had a chance so i bought it right there. i don't want to buy a new one though, i kinda want to fix everything on this one, just so i can have a car that i did all the work on. but if it comes down to it and i HAVE to buy a new one, then i guess i have to. but buying cars in Minnesota sucks cuz it's hard to find a decently cheap one that doesn't have major problems or alot of rust.

we are deifinitely on the same page then. i wanna do all the work on mine, but i am wanting to buy that is in good shape. plus i cannot do all the work on mine because of lack in tools. i have limited number of tools. for tools are very expensive. in other words, yeah i try to do my best

[runabout93]

LOL... you guys are definitely in the same boat. I'm gonna sign off from this discussion. Good luck!

[Don't Worry, It's Just Me]

well then i guess thats where im in luck cuz i have friends that went to college for auto body and i went for auto mechanics, so im sure if we worked to gether on it it would turn out ok, the only major things i'm missing are a torch and a welder. but other than that just about everything is covered.

[Don't Worry, It's Just Me]

yup but i gotta get back to work, all this chattin and not workin is goin to get me in trouble someday. nice chattin with you man, hope everything goes good for you and your Two and the future Two.

[albertgunit101]

thanks, same to you goodluck with everything

Then check/replace your PCV (usually you will have oil in your intake/air filter). I can't remember if that will cause smoke or just consumption though. Anyway, I would check my plugs for buildup and do a compression test. If my plugs are fouled or If the compression is bad on any cylinder, then it's usually bad news. Could be bad piston/rings, valve guides or seals. Leak down test will tell you which.

But, if it is just happening during startup... then you are probably okay for a while. Don't forget to check your oil frequently. If you start burning more than a quart of oil every 1,000 miles... it's gonna need some work($$).

a bad pvc will cause blow by and oil consumption. cause the crankcase cant breathe and it will push oil out where ever it can.
blue smoke is oil. if its doing it after startup its most likely valve guides. the oil leaks down the valves and onto the piston and causes the smoke on startup. its pretty common on older cars and i wouldnt worry about it too much.
i dont think a compression test or a leak down isnt gonna tell you if the valve guides are bad cause if you are doing it properly then the valves are gonna be closed. no way for the air from the leak down test to get up there.
if you ever take you head in to get work done on it then thats the time you get the valve guides fixed.

k now how about this for you guys, my 5S has the squeeling thing goin on, it was doin everything stated in this thread, then it stopped, then it started again, so i replaced the belt, it was ok for a little bit, now the belt is squeeling again. and the belt is no more than 3 weeks old.

[killermillermr2]

If your car sat for a period of time in its life the valve seals might have dried out, causing smokeing at the start. i also had the squel problem. tentioning only lasted about a month before i just decided to replace belts
