"A car drove by" ![Rollinglaugh](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/rollinglaugh.gif)
Sorry, I'm not going to be of much help, but Holy Crap.....that is a ton of smoke and thumping!
This is gonna sound stupid and I'm sure it is.................but have you checked your oil level? Did someone overfill it?
I think the tribe in the other county is preparing for war after those smoke signals you just put out!

thats very simmilar to what my idle whould sound like when my plugs were all fouled up. I was thinking that maybe since you have the 3rd oil injector that you need to run it up to redline more than us with two cuz the oil is whats fouling it?
