Wondering if the Sport Trac Gremlin hit me or something worse...
02 4x4, 154K miles.
Tuesday night, nothing strange, all OK, and park the trac for the night.
Wednesday morning, I turn the key, and it doesn't start.
I try again, and when it kicks in, I press the gas a little to keep it going. It feels like it wants to run, and I can keep it roughly running holding in on the gas, but let off, and it dies.
When it's running, I'm getting LOADS of gray smoke coming out the tail pipe. ( Kind of looks like Cigarette smoke colored )
I try 2 or three times, and the same thing. Figured something was broken, and it's going to be expensive.
After calling into work, that I'm not going to be there, I figure I'll check it out, and see what's up.
I turn the key, and it starts right up, everything is fine. Been driving two days with no issues... No check engine lights, power is normal, acting like nothing ever happened.
Wonder if I got some water in the gas, or something else. Who knows.
For now, writing it off as the Sport Trac gremlin.
We'll see.. if it does it again any time soon, I'll take it to get checked out.
