Hey,
Im 18, just bougt an '84 RX-7....Its got a 12a, engine has about 60K miles on it. When I turn my car on after it has not been drove for a week or so I pull the choke out and when I do it puts out a lot of blue smoke until the car is warmed up and I push the choke back in. Is this normal?.....if not what could it be? Any help would....well....help
Thanx

 

mine does that too,,,but i have over 150k miles,,i think oil seeps into the chamber if not used for a few days,,i would expect it on my hi milage motor,,but yours is like a baby yet,,,,someone else will ring in here soon with some more ideas,,,,,
and welcome to the forum////

 

i was to undersatnd that blue or white means water.

 

White is coolant and blue is oil. I wouldn't worry about the blue smoke so long as it clears relatively quickly.

Check out this FAQ, it has some good info on the topic.

What if its white for just 1 sec?

 

my car smoked blue all the time.. but that was from running 2 stoke in my gas.. so i would say it burning oil.

 

welcome to the forum...dunno much about the oil issue...but the choke should go back in by itself...

 

I dunno, condensation perhaps? So long as you aren't loosing coolant, you don't have to worry about it, IMHO. Same thing goes for blue smoke. If the car smokes blue on startup but still doesn't use much oil then there's nothing to worry about. It takes only a scant amount of oil to make smoke.

 

Yeah my choke goes in by its self.......I just didnt know if the blue smoke was bad......its kinda embarrasing

 

what i suggest is you watch your oil level and coolant level just to be safe...i have no smoke issues but i check them at least once a week
