1996 Regal with 3100 SFI engine
Runs fine in the morning on her way to work, when she goes to leave she hears a noise and smoke comes out from under the hood.
I get there and try to start it and it fires right up, backfires and dies. I start it again, it fires immediately, but wont idle. It surges and sputters. I manage to get it in gear and nurse it home, depsite the fact that it also has no power brakes. I really dont understand that part, the brakes. After two pumps (the vacuum reserve) the brake pedal was hard, and would not recharge.
Anyways I have no SES light mad and it runs fine at WOT. I am thinking stuck EGR, but that doesnt explain the brakes.
Help!
