Hi My 89 Conquest is consuming over 1 quart of Mobil 1 every 1000 miles. There is blue smoke coming from the exhaust under heavy accelleration and there is an oil burning smell coming from the engine. There are no external leaks. On these cars which is the likely culprit? Valve guides? Rings?Something else? Thanks, Bill

Unfortunately It's coming to a tough decision and I'm only allowed one car where I'm going. I really hate to sell her, but at the same time I want her to have a good home. And I need to find a place to call home as well. She'll be put together for an easy 400+whp. Here are the details of what she'll come with: (sorry folks, The Race motor with Wiseco's + Billet Alu Rods has been sold to fund the move.)   1988 Conquest TSi SHP 5 speed Sunroof Black leather with driver-side bolster wear Chad's

I HAVE 2 DIFF INTAKE VALVES 1 IS G5S & THE OTHER IS G5M. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THE DIFF IS BETWEEN THE 2?

I have searched and searched but found nothing with similar symptoms. When the engine is cold and I start it, the idle is low and tries to stall on me unless I keep feathering or steadily give it gas. Then if I try to drive it, its very lean, no power, and tries to stall under load.   Once it is warmed up everything is fine, tons of power and idles great.   Idk if its the CTS or what but I can't find anything else.
