a couple questions Options

[Guest_mon3y19_*]

1. is it normal that when i start my car, smoke comes out of my muffler? i mean it goes on and on and on. is this just because i need to change oil? or do i need to replace my muffler? it's burnt a lil bit.

2. where is the vacuum hose located? im trying to locate it and plug it so it'll stop making frickin' knocking noises and make it stop idling so high. i went under the car and couldn't find it.

thanks

Definately just take it to a shop. I'm not sure what color smoke you're really seeing , but it doesnt sound right....it could be any number of things wrong and a shop will know what to do and save you a big headache.

I dont know, I've learned to rely on professionals in the event theres something that needs to be diagnosed properly....altough its rare for me to have any problems in the first place. But do it right, please.
