Well my MAF Sensor has been on the blink for a while . . . so I am used to that rough idle.  This AM I popped in to gass er up before the price hike and when I started her up . . . a really rough idle.  I drove to work just the same.  Power has decreased and she seems a little louder.  I popped the hood and a wisp of smoke came up from around the firewall just behind the engine.

I checked the gas cap and it is on tight.

What in the world has happened now??

Oh . . . 97 Kick 4dr 1.6
