idle and smoke
Im looking into this problem for a friend but I went with him to look at a 86 honda hatch and it has a few problems. The car starts up fine no smoke or anything idles fine. But after it gets warmed up a little bit it has heavy white smoke come out of the back and the idle gets weak till the engine eventually dies.

Re: idle and smoke
Could be the headgasket. white smoke usually signifies coolant/water being burned. #1 check your coolant level and top it off if its low. #2, take the radiator cap off and start the car and let it run for a bit. Look for bubbles in there and smell for an exhaust smell coming out of the radiator. This is an easy indicator of a blown headgasket.
