Sounds like valve seals or a valve adjustment.

O.K. , we drove (I drove , she rode , stop nit picking) to Las Vegas for the weekend , bumper to bumper stop and go traffic all the way from Los Angeles to Las Vegas _AND_ back again , GRrrr........

I had the AC on full tilt boogie the entire time , lots and lots of idling when I'd run into some store or whatever and SWMBO would sit in the idling car with the AC going.....

First tank 423 miles 27.2 MPG

Second tank 380 miles 27.4 MPG .

I still have about 1/3 a tank to finish yet .

The engine is beginning to smoke more than I like , oil smoke , light blue and it uses a quart of oil before 400 miles , not correct .

It also blows out a cloud of black fuel smoke every time I leave a dead stop .

Stay tuned , I'll be dipping into it pretty soon .

The intake fuel screen remains clean , I've been using 4 Oz. of Startron and 4 Oz. of MMO each fillup .

That's it , I'm beat & going to bed , see if I can make it to work to - morrow or not .
