well, as it states, i need your opinions. . .
I went to start up my celica today (after not being driven for 1 day), and a sec after i started it, it immediately died. (i tried to start it a few more times // turning off the cd player etc.) and did not turn over. Then, since i'm kinda on a hill, i was able to start it rolling down . . . then it died . . . then, standing still, i stared it, and as soon as i did, i reved it. . . LOTS of blue smoke came out . . . (for about 5 secs...) . . . i have searched this, and blue smoke (according to pressure2) is linked with some problem w/the valve gaskets . . . and i'm thinking there is something more to this than that . . . ? anyway, please give me your ideas, and please only post if you know something key in this problem . . . Thank You, ~snap p.s. I know i have an oil leak, waiting to fix it...(it's like a $500 repair...) <------ EDIT:-------> just that much because of the labor, parts like $50 . . . and it takes a hoist // and removing a lot of stuff . . . nothing i can really do . . .

What happened after that? Did the blue smoke go away?

Hey doc! i see (through reading threads) that you are quite an engine dude! lol! . . . anyway, the smoke died away after about 5 secs (a ploom each time i reved) . . . but after i did that, the car ran fine . . . . . . the oil leak i think is just a pan gasket . . . i can re-check about that (i have the write up about it)(but don't you have to remove a lot of stuff to get to it?) anyway, this car has been taken care of very well, but does has 208,XXX miles . . . thanks you posting! // i'll be looking for your reply! thank you, ~snap p.s. i know you charge like $500 to do a whole swap!...so $500 for a gasket!!...but this is a garage, and they like charging $80 per hour...  -------------------- Past: V6 Swapped 6G Celica, E46 BMW M3, Jeep Wrangler TJ
