Ok...on the Si...I just had it running...this is the parts car that I may make my new daily driver...it has a D15B2 in it...when I had it running it didn't seem to be smoking as bad...but the smoke coming out of the tail pipe now seems more 'white' than blue and my "engine" light is staying on???
What would cause the engine light to stay on?
Also in the case of the oil...could it be something as simple as the valve cover gasket? The plugs do not seem to be fouling...sigh...really wish that dumbass hadn't hit me...

sounds like your headgasket is bad on it with the white smoke (burnt antifreeze)...engine light can mean the car is overheating, oil pressure is low, etc. pull up the passenger side carpet to look at the computer...count the number of blinks and that will tell you the code it is throwing

a code 10 is the TA (intake air temperature) sensor

Section 6 has the flashing codes list and tells what the problem is
Page 6-48 has instructions on how to find out what the problem is and how to fix it
good luck

yeah, I noticed that, too
Also, was your right rear crumpled before the wreck? if not....
let's just say I wouldn't trust the integrity of a vehicle that had that much shock run through it...

Yes the right rear was crumpled...I was climbing a hill behind a backhoe and was almost stalling in second gear...I crested the hill and pulled out to pass...just as I was almost by him...he turned LEFT! The bicket on the front of the tractor hit me in the rear quarter panel.
I patched it up to the best of my ability...the Si quater panel was soon to be cut off for the STD...glad I didn't do that now...

It's official...it is being considered a write off...
But get this...know what his insurance company offered me...$1000!!!! :madfawk: Bastards...I knew they'd come in low...but sweet geezuz! He asked me what I was thinking, suggesting maybe around $2000...I said bare minimum! He told me that the appraiser told him that if the car was in perfect condition he couldn't get more than $3-500 for it... :bs: that's a freakin' joke, I had a perfect, running car, albeit a little banged up...but running fine before his customer hit me. They could get at LEAST that out of the engine alone!
If he comes back and says $2000...my next statement is..."$2500"
...if he won't agree to that, then I say..."I keep the car" (parts for the Si like the new 'front pipe' that I just put on that cost me over $400)...we'll see...
Sorry had to vent...
