    Default M50 will not start

    Yay, it started, just added a couple teaspoons of gear oil and it cranked right up, now im hunting idle. The car won't idle at all, if i let it go below 1500rpm the car dies. Is this just still not a proper compression seal and i just need to keep it running to warm it up, or is this something else i need to look for, its not like a vacuum leak, it doesnt try to rebound or idle at all it just dies, im guessing not enough compression at low rpms yet. Maybe some mystery oil at this point would be helpful, maybe in the oil and gas, and suggestions about this or possibel other probelms to get it running smooth. Also it is billowing wight smoke out of the back, im guessing moisture burning off. Well im glad, at least it starts.

    EDIT: And im getting no engine codes at all, just good 'ol 1444
