It stared with a little noise and then a lot of smoke. Could it be just a belt or something more expensive? How much will it cost?

I'm having poor idle (not horrible, but definitely not as smooth as it should be) on my 89 LeSabre with 60k on the motor (3800 Series 1), 150k on the transmission (automatic 440-T4).

I have the following setup:
-Delco Type 2 coils (from a junkyard, but tested goo)
-Duralast 8mm plug wires from Autozone with about 15k miles on them
-NGK Iridium plugs with less than 10k on them, gapped to .060 as per factory for the 3800
-Flowmaster single in, dual out muffler
-High flow cat converter
-K&N high flow cone air filter
-good fuel pressure

So I'm thinking that I either have a weak coil or my plug wires are just too dinky to take the load of the Type 2 ignition system.

So which should I check first? Which might I consider replacing first? I'd opt for either thicker plug wires or higher output coil packs.

Or is there something I should check?

Thanks for suggestions :)

I'v just had a quote of £320 + £120 for a grey door to have the grey door sprayed black and then fitted on to my car. So it will total £420 to have a second hand doorsprayed and fitted. This seems a lot to me does anyone know how much it should cost.

I changed the thermostat in my car about 3 months ago because it was causing my car to seriously overheat. I switched it out, flushed the radiator and put in new antifreeze. Now the car, I noticed yesterday, will start overheating if I'm idling for too long. Turning on the heat doesn't affect it but if I accelerate it brings the temp back down. The heater also won't blow hot air when the temp starts creeping up like maybe the thermostat I bought is defective. Any suggestions? Please don't tell me I have to buy another thermostat cause it was a b*tch to take the old one out. lol.

I have a 2001 Ford Taurus, and while driving I feel a light pulsating, vibrating, shudder feel coming directly from my accelerator. the car doesn't shake or vibrate, it is coming form the pedal only...could it be bad tires because they sound really noisy while driving? Or could it be something else ?

I found several containers in mom's unheated detached garage. They've probably been out there anywhere from 5 to 10 years. Would it be okay to put it in my gas tank?

I'm a big intelligent guy who looks like he *should* know about cars, however-I only know how to drive them and have no clue what goes under the hood. Thus, I get charged $75 for a battery pan or some such other nonsense everytime i go for a knock or a ping. I have spent thousands, only to get laughed at later by people telling me how overcharged i was.

Any ideas? Other than slaughtering the shifty mechanics who just use my extra cash for pay-per-view wrestling?

I have an 87 Honda Accord LX Sedan. The carburetor was rebuilt in April 2005. This summer, we started having the same problems with it that we had then. Our mechanic acknowledged that we're having carb problems, but won't check the carburetor, saying the problems may be from an ignition switch. He said he replaced the switch. The car is still running the same as before he "replaced the switch".
