Ok guys,
Overfilled oil in my car about three days ago, drained the oil and filled correct amount. Car will not idle now, throws blue & white smoke out the tail pipe, runs horrible at low rpms will pull hard if I slowly get on the throttle and turbo slowly spools up.
I just recently replaced valve cover gasket, clean spark plug after every ride in hopes that all oil will be burned out (black after every ride), and did a compression check test.
The results from the test were cylinder 1= 120 psi, #2=125, #3=120, #4=150psi
are these low on cylinders 1-3, I really want to know if my head gasket is bad or not... i'm not driving it anymore until I can diagnose what the problem is.
----The guys at the shop said the car was abnormally flooded this would make since due to the fact that I can watch my gas needle move now... Before I overfilled and had it running good I could drive for days on 20$ in gas now $20 gets me twenty minutes.
I know the car is severely untuned but could this cause the symptoms described?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jason
