Can someone help me before I spend all of my money? Last eve, while driving down the highway, my EML light came on and I had a serious decrease in power, my "Check Engine" light also came one, but went out shortly thereafter. No other warnings came up. From the other post that I have read, this is called the "limp home mode" and this is exactly what I did. This morning, I started the car and all seemed to be fine until I decided to take it for a test run down the street, then, what looked like blue smoke with a smell of gasoline started coming from the exhaust like I have bad rings. Does anyone have any ideas or similar experiences?
