What causes a car to smoke at high revs?
at hi rev the piston reciprocates at high speed from tdc(top dead centre) to bdc(bottom dead centre),and there's a cycle in which combustion of charges(fuel and air mixture) takes place,and rate of combustion of fuel can't be increased considerably while high speed functioning,so a little charge is left,which is not fully burnt,it may have un burnt hydrocarbons which looks black,and it is exhausted by the engine,so that's the smoke from your car. and there are other reasons to..like engine's valve mechanism is faulty or problem with the spark plug
How do you adjust low beam headlight on 06 Mazda 3?
This is an easy task. You need 3 things: a roll of dark masking tape, blue works really well, a medium to large flat screwdriver a #2 works well, and a wall with a level flat driveway, your garage door may work if you have a level flat driveway.
Best to do this when its dark or getting dark, NOT in bright sunlight.
SET dashboard headlight adjustment knob (feature on several Mazda) to position "0". All positions but "0" interfere by compensating. Set it to "0".
Drive your car close to the wall, about 1 foot away works well.
Turn your headlights on. You will see across the wall the top of your lights, below bright above much less bright.
NOW, place a strip of dark masking tape on the wall along that edge of light.
That tape is your Mark for adjusting your lights level.
Carefully and safely back the car straight about 10 to 15 feet, if possible.
Notice where your headlight boundary is now relative to the masking tape.
If it is right along the tape your adjustment is normal, and OK.
If it is much higher that may bother oncoming drivers and should be lowered.
If much below the masking tape its too low, unsafe, you may not see hazards and should be adjusted to raise it.
Be sure engine is turned OFF and headlights are on, be SAFE!
To adjust, Open hood, look for white adjustment toothy wheel with six sided adjustment Slot, located right behind the headlight electrical connector.
NOTE: in some models you may have a plastic snap-on cover above it, unsnap to access the Adjustment with your screwdriver. Use a flashlight to see it.
Insert screwdriver blade carefully into the slot. If you have a proper size screwdriver it should fit in easily and snug, do NOT force it, if loose or tight get another different screwdriver that will fit properly. Do NOT damage the slot, its plastic!
While watching the light on the wall relative to masking tape turn the screwdriver, counterclockwise to RAISE, clockwise to LOWER. Be careful and know it may take from 2 to 5 screwdriver turns to notice movement of the light.
When the light boundary is right at the masking tape you lights are Level.
When necessary do this for each headlight. Same procedure.
Good job, close your hood and drive the car and notice the difference.
If you have dashboard headlight level adjust feature try it, moving from "0" to "1", "2" etc should LOWER the headlight level. This allows you to lower your headlights for city driving and set it to "0" for open road driving where you need more light coverage ahead to see road hazards.

Three and out is a football term. In American football you 4 "downs/attmepts" to get 10 yards. If you get the 10 or more yards than you start over at first down. If you don't get 10 yards after the first 3 downs you can go for it and try to get the remaining yards, punt or you can try for a field goal. A punt is when you kick the ball and the other team receives it and trys to return it into your endzone. The benifit of punting is it pushes the other team back towards the other side of the field and makes it harder for them to score. A field goal is when someone holds the ball and a kicker trys to kick the ball through the goal posts, which is worth 3 points. Anyway, if you go three downs without getting 10 yards and have to punt they call it "Three and out", you've done three plays and now your off the field.
