I know this is probably a dumb question but I have to ask anyway. So I have a little light on my dash... but I have no idea what it's for. I have an 89 non turbo, and it's the light all the way to the left. Left of the temp guage. It looks like some sort of filter, but everyone I've ask says that there would never be a light for that. I replaced the air filter anyways, and the light actually went away for a while but now it's back again and I think it IS having an effect on engine performance. Any information you guys have would be appreciated, thanks.
Oh yeah, also. I just recently put it through it's first 270mile trip and it actually made it, but when I got to the gas station at home after I put gas in it and tried starting it again TONS of white smoke spewed out of the exhaust and apparently the thing was flooded with fuel because it wouldn't turn over until I cranked it repeatedly over an interval of half an hour. And once it turned, the white smoke stopped. Before driving it, I put in a bottle of that sea foam stuff in the gas tank so I think it worked really well because the injectors must be really clean to be pumping all that fuel in the chamber.
I think the problem is the spark plugs/wires need to be replaced because they aren't burning the fuel off enough. Any ideas? The mileage of the car is unknown as the previous owner swapped the engine from one of those vendors in Japan, but it runs very strong and I just had the clutch replaced. I'm also slowly getting the body back together heh.
