    I recently bought a 2013 speed with about 71k miles on it. I brought it home, and within 16 hours of having it, it’s already misfiring. It threw a p0300 code so I just threw in coils and plugs. Seemed to go away for about a week, then it comes back, so I take it to my mechanic who works on...

    White Smoke

    Is it normal for it to still be smoking after like 15 minutes of running though?

    White Smoke

    I was told by some other speed owners to do that... never rains in Arizona so I usually don’t worry about it.

    White Smoke

I assumed it was just some water so I changed the oil today and it went away for a second l, then the smoke came right back...

    Throttle Linkage Leak?
