everything up and found the car ran great. Took it for a drive around the block and some smoke started coming out from under the hood along with a bad smell. Thought it might be something burning off the exhaust manifold - engine degreaser, etc. Spent 2 more days trying to figure out what was going on -- finally got under the car and found a plastic work glove had slipped down onto the exhaust pipe - just back far enough not to be seen from the engine bay...
Was I relieved - but felt so stupid too for loosing it down there...LOL.
