i just started my stang after 7 months of it sitting. and i noticed some oil was burinig from the right header(from driver seat angle). it smelt like burning oil but after i let it sit .it stoped smoking when i turned it again. another thing my water temp gauge is not reading. when i start the car i see it move like slightly then it just reads zero. damn these problems!!!! oh well at least it started!

 

If it dont smoke no more dont worry about it. Might have some oil from the valve cover gasket leak on it. Do you have water in it? The gauge has to have water to read the temperature.

 

yeah theres anti freeze and water in the radiator and there is water in the over flow. any ideas ? fualty sending unit maybe? it doesnt over heat but its anoyying when all the gauges work except that one. haha and my fuel reading is always fluctuating like a mo fo. it will read full then i will like take a turn and it will say im empty!!! man your car sounds like its hot ****, i still got a long way to go. thanks for the advice man ! take care
