Could be it's just getting tired, as in worn components.
As long as you're getting adequate pressure at operating RPM it should not be a major concern.
If you're not using 15W 40 I would suggest doing so.
Cheers.
Smoke isn't a good thing. When you shut the engine off the engine actually heats up some prior to cooling down because the coolant isn't running through the engine any longer. When you have electric fans, that's why they stay on for a few minutes after the car has shut off. Is the smoke coming from the fuse panel on the fender well or could it be your valve cover gaskets leaking onto the exhaust manifolds?
fuel tank vent valve mounts on the top of the fuel tank and allows air to flow into the tank so a vacuum is not created. If this valve is defective, the fuel flow to the engine will be severely affected causing stalling and hard start conditions. If your valve is clogged or deteriorated, this is the part for you!

Hi,
The possibilities are too numerous to get into here.
Either take your vehicle to AutoZone for a FREE diagnostic scan or they'll loan you a scanner. This will enable you to pinpoint the problem(s) almost immediately.
It's a definite possibility. Make sure your coolant level is good. Is the engine temperature coming up on your temperature gauge? If the engine temp is low and there is no heat in the cab, it's most likely a thermostat stuck open. If your engine temperature is good, but no heat in the cab, then it's probably something else like a plugged heater core, kinked hose to the heater core, or even your heat selector switch not working properly.
The engine control module is the only thing that can turn on or off that light. With the key on, engine off the light should come on as a bulb check. Light could be burnt out. Good Luck
Your dash needs to come out. These bulbs push into a plastic piece that "twists" into the back of the dash board. (About a 1/4 turn) Unless you can get at them from underneath, but I think it's to tight.
this is defiantly a CPU issue but, at the least, it could be a fuse box issue as well. check both to be safe.. oh, some stereos that are purchased and installed incorrectly can cause this as well.
