Okay, i'll try tobe specific as i can. at the 12:30 starting the car would just crannk and and but wouldn't get that last turnover. for the 1:00 starting when i finally got it started it would and and when i floored it it turned over but barely barely turned over. like it wanted to go, but didn't at the same time. This is about as specific as i can describe it. Thanks for your help man.

: Ok, because you weren't real specific I am going to assume that the car ed but did not start. If the car ed really slowly then it is probably your starter, after the 10:30 running it had time to heat sink and wouldn't start well. If it turned over ok, then it could be a number of things, but it sound like eventually the car was flooded if you had to floor it to start it. Clarify a few points and maybe we can narrow it down a little. -CP

: : okay, so i went to work this morning, started the mav at 7:30 and it fired up just fine. I went out on break at 10:30 and it started up just fine. 12:30 comes around so i go on lunch, rather tried to and the mav wouldn't start at all.... i finally got it started around 1pm. but it like barely barely barely wanted to go.. i had to like floor it to get it ing. so i popped the hood and i noticed that the cap on the block that you put the oil in was off and that some "smoke" was coming out of my engine. ran it for a bit, then started it again at 3 and then again at 5 when i left. was a hard turn over both times. very strange. what could be the problem???? I NEED MY MAV!!!!!!!!!!! thanks,
