Today, I went to pass a friend in her pickup. I went WOT @ 35 mph and held untill 90mph. She said the car was burning blue smoke. I thought the new PCV valve took care of that. I was wrong. I went to the best shop in town and they said that its "normal" for a drop or two to get past the cylinder under hard driving. He said if I did burn oil my plugs would foil very fast. My plugs look good every time I pull them. He also said that if the car runs rich enough that can cause blue smoke as well. So, is this really normal? I rarely ever see cars put out blue smoke unless they are beaters. :?

Being that you were WOT I wouldn't be overly worried. Might want to drop in a can of engine restore from time to time if it continues.

I don't think my car has any blue smoke when I pin it.....But I'm never behind it either.

I'm going for the fuel trim getting too hot under WOT and burning a lot to quick.

Also it wouldn't suprise me if you do get a lil blow by...I'd imagine every engine does under a **** kickin'. What weight oil you running?

So gas itself can burn blue? I'm running 10w30 now that its hot. It is dyno juice though. I am feeling a lose of power since I pulled my plugs a couple days ago.

From what I saw the other night....I think it'* all in your head LOL

Anyways...yes too much fuel can burn blue.

And WAY too much fuel burns black smoke.

Try bumper up to 10w 40

That'* what I'm running right now.

Yeah dude, chances are if it were oil, it'd happen all the time [idle to WOT]. It probably is just gas. If the can of restore fixes it, then yeah it'* oil.. but I doubt it. I've yet to see a car only have blue smoke with WOT, it'* usually black if anything.

You are loosing about a quart of oil every 3000 miles if i remember right? Def oil then.

That was my 93'. It has a oil leak thats now much worse. The LSS has a small oil leak + the possible burning of oil but doesn't seem to loose any on the dipstick. Which means i'm leaning more towards the car is just running rich.
