[QUOTE="Rizkit32, post: 1145828, member: 17774"] Hey Chris, I did get the carfax when I purchased it ( one of the main reasons I bought it), completely clean with most service records. I'm pretty sure that I have it lying around somewhere, I'll look for it. 1. Brakes are worn and rotors are getting to the point that they need to be replaced soon as well. -does have the bluish fog lights, but I doubt that they are real HID's cause they're pretty dim -Brake fluid is at a normal level - nothing about the car was modified 2.The speedo will continue to work when the odometer goes out - will do an inspection on Monday when I have the chance to put it on a lift in autoshop 3. I couldn't really tell you what color the smoke is because I always see it from inside the car and it only does it for a short second and by the time I go to the back its already dispersed. I'll have my friend take a picture/video of me starting it up today. - Oil is normal see-through goldish color thankfully ( i had that experience with my mom's explorer, not fun) - Only shoots smoke on start up 4. Will do, eventually. Blew all my money on the car & the remainder of it will be spent on tune up supplies, so I'll hopefully have that in a couple weeks. 5. Will get on that as well next pay check 6. The sound is coming from the engine bay? Will get a video of that later today as well. 7. Next paycheck 8. Ok, I may have worded this wrong. Not all fuses were blown, but they were all "burnt". All the terminals were black and you could tell they haven't been replaced since the car was purchased and they all looked like they were on the verge of going, so I just changed them all out -I'll check all that when I get in to the shop tomorrow and update. -Also, there is noting electronically wrong with the car other than the odometer and the abs 9. Changing the oil tomorrow or Wednesday, as well as the spark plugs, will take pictures. - You're making the IAC valve sound really important, I might just borrow some money and replace it now :undecided: -Already bought some cleaner, have plans to do it tomorrow :D -I'm pretty sure its the factory exhaust Thanks for all the tips, that was a lot of info to process haha [/QUOTE]
