edge Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multics Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Uh no. Mine revs around 1500rpm for a minute or so but no smell of petrol (in the car) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it white, blue or black smoke? 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.

Aero-M Posted April 9, 2008 Author Share Posted April 9, 2008 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc_p Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 But anyway, is it puffing out a lot of white smoke all the time, if it is then it could be the head gasket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aero-M Posted April 9, 2008 Author Share Posted April 9, 2008 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.

Guest raji Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
