I pulled the trigger points out and cleaned them the best i could, they look fine as far as i can tell.

The car still runs rough and smokes constantly, blue, black, and grey depending on the time.

If i continue to rev the motor and play with the throttle i can get it to idle smoothly, still smoking blueish greyish though. If i give it a it of throttle it will stall unless i really floor it and be hard on the pedal to get it revved up. At wide open throttle it smokes like a diesel with a seized turbo.

It doesnt run well enough to drive it at all right now.

It be have the same hot and cold. It can be harder to start hot without pumping the pedal.

What beats me is that i had it running pretty good a couple weeks ago and then like the flip of a switch it runs like crap again.
