Blue's, my son's first use car, Honda Accord w/90+k circa 80's, had the Honda Blues. Start it and in the matter of 1-2 minutes it would disappar in it's own cloud. I just bought a 99, 9-5, 4 auto with 105K at an auction with an independent Saab service facility. I had him do a full fluids change and check out before picking it up. I picked it up late on a Sat. I started it in his giant high ceiling garage, before i could open the garage door the entire giant place was a in a blue fog. Needless to say I was destroyed. The only office guy said they must have poured some oil some where. I owned it and didn't believe that. The crancase was overfilled by at least a quart. I drove 4K miles before my first change and the oil level never got down to the full mark. What I have found is , as I noted again this past week , if you do not let the car fully warm up before shutting down, you get some blues. I live where there is alternate side parking. This past week I drove the car 1/2 a block made a U turn and then 1/2 a block to re-park. The next morning I stated the car from the out side and immediately went to load the trunk. Yep I had some blues and a funny feeling in the stomach. There must be some error in the enrichment computer info that does this. Could be the car remains flooded like the carb engines until you start again and double-enrich. Every once in a while the car won't start after 2-3 tries. I must open the throttle while cranking before she will start. I have not checked for blues then. Probaly have to clean the throttle body and the idle bypass with Gumout.
