[QUOTE="sh00ter, post: 3596762, member: 24531"] Had to take a car I don't normally drive for an estimate and when I pulled out of the neighborhood to merge into traffic, I got on it and it began hesitating real bad and then a cloud of smoke half the size of a football field was behind me. The person who drives this drives it like a granny so I doubt they ever punch the gas like I did. I was immediately worried the rings were shot, but there has been no smoke for her under normal driving and after that happened, I drove a few miles and hit it again and no smoke or hesitation. I chalked it up to it just needed to be floored to be "cleaned out"? I am sure the hesitation was misfires due to massive gunk & carbon being burned off but again, I was worried it was the rings & oil burning, however, if it never smokes otherwise, then I would have thought the rings would be okay? Can any of you gear heads confirm that everything is okay? It runs fine, has synthetic oil that is clean and changed regularly, 80k, 4-cyl engine. [/QUOTE]
