Hello, How many miles on this car? Once every 3 months our 1999 9-5 SE 2.3 w/87K smokes upon start up. The oil pressure switch in our 2002 leaked and required replacement. Inspect your plugs for fouling-make sure they're the proper NGKs- and do a compression check as a first test for damage. A single cylinder leak test is the second "DIY" test-a little more specific and probably not necessary. I doubt you burned anything. Running a car briefly at "min" shouldn't be any big deal. I would be sure it was full of an A3,B3/B4 oil and take her out for a fast one. There are lots of things which can be happening at the same time here. Have you installed PCV#6 yet-be honest. Kira
