Hard start & blue smoke problem?
Well, I'll start with the engine. I noticed that on it's first crank it doesn't sound normal, it sounds like it's really dry inside the engine and there is no oil. I change the oil every 1500 miles and I checked it before I drove my FD yesterday and it was perfect.
Now with the blue smoke.
I noticed yesterday when the car is idling there is light blue smoke coming out of the exhaust sometimes. The smoke was pretty bad on the parkway when I put it in neutral. I'm pretty sure it's not the turbos, because it didn't occur while I was on boost and when I released the gas pedal.
Possible problem might be from Pettit's Proteck-R. I noticed every time I used their fuel lubricant that it would create a little bit of blue smoke, however, I never experienced it this bad. I'm going to jack-up my FD and dump the gas out.
I'm going to look into my PCV value and ic pipes. Also, I'm going to replace my oil pressure switch, because my stock gauge is bouncing all over the place when I accelerate.
Any help would be appreciated.
