My Car's Mad At Me

My Car's Mad At Me
So I turned on my car for the first time since Sunday, a while ago, and it was mad. Lots of shaking, sounded like tapping on the right side, it was choking for gas, and tons of smoke out the back. I revved it a little and the tapping went away, I let it sit a little more and the smoke and shaking calm down, but damn I was shitting bricks thinking on there goes a valve. I drove it for half an hr 15 mins one way (to the gym) and 15 back. Everything seemed alright for the most part, as soon as I start pulling it in to park it for the night it starts to shake at me. Everything seems fine, I plugged it into my Predator for Real Time Data and Codes, and no problems, but man she doesnt like being out in the cold. I think she misses TX. I might just send her back there, for the winter. Still contemplating.....

it's a ls1 tantrum I was going to park my car for the winter and start my winter mods. I had it in the garage for 1-1/2 weeks warm garagage mind.i started it monday to take it to seattle. man that thing grumbled groaned valves hammering blue then black smoke.it was really unhappy most of the trip.not exactly like your problem but close
I get it home and notice my headers and Y pipe have separated about 1/2" , 1 bolt is left on the drivers side and none on the other side. so i'm sure that the rear 02 sensor was not getting a good reading.I fixed the y pipe now it runs all happy again but it still dumps blue smoke on start up so now i'm worried about my baby. I figured i would share my story too

Rey, nothing that a 200 shot of nitrous won't cure. How many miles on car and fuel filter changed? Just shooting in the dark at this point.
Didn't you have some vette lettering you said I could have? I have a car cover if ya want it, or it goes up for crabs to the first one that does. I used it on my coupe a couple times, not the most expensive but what the hey, it's free and in good shape.

Rey.......I hope you get that all figured out. Did it only do it that one time? Might want to post up on Corvetteforum and see what those guys have to say..........JMO.......these cars are a hate love kind of relationship.
I get off work today at 8am. I'll crash when I get home but should be up by 1 or 2pm. You still coming to Tacoma? Why you heading out here? We should go have some beers, maybe we can grab Robert too.
