1993 Mazda B2200 review from North America
"Dependable, but smoky on startup"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I just bought this truck for $250. For the money it's a great deal. The gut I bought it from said it had no major mechanical problems, but did mention that it smoked a bit on startup - especially when cold. I just started it this morning and so much smoke came out it looked like my house was on fire. We're talking like a serious smokescreen cloud. I've seen and driven the truck before and it was totally fine. I've noticed other owners of this same truck posting this exact problem as well. Does anyone know what this is caused by? or what I could do to try to fix it?
General comments?
Seems like a solid truck - VA body so no rust.
