is my car running good? a few weeks ago my car had the service engine soon light come on. a friend of mine being a dumb **** erased the error code from the car. i listened to every one say that it was just a tune up that i needed because for a while it was running on 7 cylinders due to a plug wire being messed up. but anywho....... last night i found myself having a race on my hands between me and an 2nd gen MR2 with a bigger turbo it turned out to be almost a dead even race and shifting from 2-3 my car pushed out a pretty decent sized cloud of smoke. i was just wondering if it had to do with the car running on 7 cylinders for a while or if i maybe had some engine damage from it. im still a newb at mechanics especially the ls1 so please dont bash me i am just wondering if it was an extreamly bad thing?

alright man thanx a lot, because im thinking i lost a bit of performance from that because the mr2 should have probably been a pretty easy kill. but ill keep ya posted if it works or not.

sorry if i exhadurated a little by sayin on 7 cylinders. but basically it was just missfireing and running kinda shitty. but i had a fouled out plug so i replaced all of them and shes running pretty good now
