[martynwin1981]

hi, when i start my n/a it revs very high for a while found this on the search as normal, however it is really smoky and really smells strongly of petrol. do all n/a's do this??

What do you mean smokey? Its cold out still and steam will be visible after just starting the car. Is it white, blue or black smoke?

Uh no. Mine revs around 1500rpm for a minute or so but no smell of petrol (in the car) ;)

it is white but just so much of it, and like i say the smell is of fuel, i have had a couple of classic cars before that smell the same just not as strong.

is it misfiring?

[martynwin1981]

no it hasn't misfired it seems to be running fine, it did go to cut out when i filled it up with petrol the other day but didn't, that is the only thing it has done?

But anyway, is it puffing out a lot of white smoke all the time, if it is then it could be the head gasket.

started it when i got home today it is only untill its warm that it smokes alot so that must be quite normal but it is just the smell, just wondered if it was because it is running rich or something else?? checked the oil and it has no water in it and it holds good temperature.

so how about if i get black smoke when i put my foot down hard while driving, even when the cars warm... bit like a diesel car does?
