Just updating my earlier complaint on this same car, as before, the engine refuses to keep going once started unless you press the gas all the time, and now the engine is smoking.... i believe there's a blown oil gasket as well as whatever other problems there are, as this is a 20 year old car, anyone who can shed any light on the situation, it will be appreciated GREATLY

Update from Jan 11, 2013: Have had a good mechanic friend of mine examine the car in depth. recommends a diganostic run on an OBD1 Computer readout tool. suspect cause of the smoking on the engine is bad valve cover gaskets. car still has issues, but is drivable. considering a new car, as this one is so old.
