Manual transmission, stock d16. No modifications. 118,344 miles
Okay, I turn the car on this morning and the car is idling extremely rough, I take off and it continues to ride rough, blowing blue smoke out of the exhaust until I get to second gear going between 25-30 mph and the roughness and smoke stop. I get to my destination (work) come out 9 hours later and turn the car on, still idling rough. I take off and once again riding really rough and blowing blue smoke out of the exhaust, except when I get to about 25-30 mph. I get approximately 3-4 miles down the road and turn left, about 1/4 mile down the car overheats, I turn it off and let it glide into a parking lot. I open the hood and everything seems normal. I check the oil and it is fine with no milkyness to it or anything. I let it cool down for a few minutes and take off again, except this time, no rough idle or blue smoke. I get to a red light and here comes the rough idle and blue smoke again. I get about another 1/4 miles down the road and it overheats again, I turn it off and let it glide onto the side of the highway. I call a tow truck and voila I'm home but with many worries on my mind.
What is going on here? Is it the head gasket? Spark plugs and wires? What is it? I travel a lot for work and need to get this thing fixed like ASAP! Anyone have this problem with there Honda or other car? I don't ever race this car nor do I abuse it in anyway. It's just a daily driver that I actually take very good car of. This just came out of nowhere very unexpectedly.
If you have had this problem or know someone that had please let me know what it is.
Thanks,
Nick
