Need Help 85 camaro 3.4 l
ok guys heres the story
I was driving my 95 camaro for a while had 200,000 miles on it
it had a little engine oil leaks and would smoke on i idle if i drove it several miles my main guess was a rear main seal problem
but no biggy i would replace a quart every 2 weeks which for me was ok
one day i decided to drive to seattle which is about a 2 hour drive for me
every things was fine till the minute i got back
let me tell you what happened
im driving down the road about a mile where i live
the first stop sign i notice a problem when i tried to accelerate it wos a little harder than usual
but it kept moving
the next stop sign i noticed way more white smoke was coming out than usual from the hood
the temp guege were reading fine
this time the car was barely movin forward the rpms shot to 3000 at 15 miles
so i pulled to the side
O tried to start the car back up but the battery was now dead
o check anti freeze it was good too
I asked for a jump by a helpful person the car started fine
then as i accelerated it went fine but then idled at 25mph
mire white smoke came out
then i heard a popping/choking sound coming from the engine not exhaust
i pulled to the side again i saw oil leaking in a puddle but no peaces of metal on the ground
i tried to start it back up the battery was dead again
.
I figured the engine was done for
so i asked for a rebuild for 1200 dollars labor included
when the mechanic tried starting it it made a pop/choke noise and white smoke started coming out of the hood
when he checked the engine
the crank was fine and it only had 2 worn pistons but nothing major
he said it could be electrical now or fuel system related
can all that happen with electrical and fuel how does that explain the excess oil smooke and leak and popping noise
does anybody know what it could be?
please help sorry for my novel
oh and do note when i was driving the highway i noticed the battery gaige go down and all the lights dimmed for a slight second then it came back on
