Re: Smoke from exhaust after idling

As I understood the clunker program, you could turn in your car for cash and they would pulverize it. I do not think that the authorities can confiscate a car but I do know that in many states a car that fails inspection is denied the right to drive until it is fixed and that is as it should be. If any car violates inspection then it should not be driven for the good of all.

from symptoms presented it seems clear that a $5k rebuild is unnecessary and will not solve the problem. It appears that the car is loading up with gas at idle and smoking on acceleration. Carb or ignition work is simple and cheap.

If a shop wants to rebuild your engine drive away as fast as you can in my opinion.
