Burns oil. After rebuilding the engine and driving it for 1700 miles, it started to burn oil while idling. Only while idling.
Car runs strong like nothing is wrong, only the oil burning while idling is causing me some grief. I have found at least 5 other owners that had the same problem with this engine, both Non Turbos and Turbos. I don't believe it is a turbo problem.
Car handles like a champ. I have owned 4 and now I am down to 3. I am currently rebuilding the engine in a Turbo AWD.
Removed the silencer from the intake? Mine started blowing blue smoke right after I took that sucker out... wonder if that has anything to do with it?
Nah, I pulled the silencer out of the intake tube in my '92NT, but haven't seen blue smoke in the exhaust. I have since added a K&N air filter (FIPK, not the replacement for the stock filter that fits in the air can), and the only problem I had after that was a toasted Mass Airflow Sensor--I think I over oiled the K&N and gummed up the sensor.
