    Default ooookay, so my car now has problems

    before I start. I must say this. RandomGuy? fuck you. you jinxed my Conquest... pakistinian whore...

    anyways - car keeps overheating, think my thermostat went. Last night the coolant overflow tank puked all over my driveway. Got a new thermostat.

    To make things worse, the car now idles high @ like 2k rpm. I couldnt figure out why, and while looking for this wire to connect to the thermostat an allen screw fell down. Oh. Shit. Why? Cuase I recalled the shop that was tuning my lifters that they had to retighten an allen screw on the back of the throttlebody that was almost all the way out. I wonder if thats my idle problem. anyways, /rant

    RandomGuy. I hate you.

    i thought i was burning som oil, thought it was the turbo crapping out, but the person that told me i was smoking made it seem like i had some huge cloud behind me. but it is the regular smoke-when -shift, on alot of turbo cars.

    check your bottle for any cracks in it, (my RB overheated b/c of that, it was bleeding air into the system) Also it might be your water pump. As far as Idle, don't know much about starions but check your idler screw and i don't know if you have an air idle control valve but check that too. And thats about all my guesses for right now.

    I think you might have a binary coil hyper threading in your flux capacitor.
