Re: viridionplague's project

well yesterday i was getting some stuff straitend out, replaced my o2 sensor, and got a wideband to help a little more. went out for a quick spin to see how the sensors were working. nothing big, then all of a sudden i get a huge burning smell, kind of like carpet.
pulled it home asap as i was only a block away and as i got into the garage my gf could smell it as well.

i didnt notice anything burning as i inspected the car, belts all looked fine, there was alot of smoke coming from the oil cap after i pulled it off. this is with the car off and it wasnt just a small wiff but it was coming out rather notacably for a minute or 2.

i think its time to break down and part this thing out, and buy a new car
