I've got a 1995 SL-2 with 143,000 miles and a 5-speed.
Thanks to all who recommended the ECTS and connector replacement. This helped a great deal with some of the issues I had. Now, after this replacement if noticed quite a bit of exhaust smoke under deceleration. Others have told me that it puffs smoke out every time I shift. The smoke under decel only seems to happen when engine is up to normal operating temperature. Any suggestions on what this might be?

Doesn't that "higher mileage" oil have an additive to swell seals?
