there you go.
I didnt feel like typing or trying to trouble shoot your problem.

[S13cl9kid]

wow theres like a million ways to cause this...

what do you smell?

but most likely its something with your oil.


yea i was thinking of a leak but i really dont see any leaks and im good on oil

[yurisfriendevan]

only takes a little bit to make alot of smoke

[S13cl9kid]

true^ but were can there be a leak i look every were i was also told i could be th EGR how do i know it its that

[lost240soul]

if it smells sweet is coolant.. do u have clutch fan or electric fans..check to see if u have bubbles in your radiator...

Do a Compression and or Leak Down test

[g00se]

white smoke typically means water/coolant

black/blue = oil

bubbles in your radiator would = head gasket leak (i think, i just had 9 free pancakes so i might be muddled)

Holy fucked up info batman.:duh:

Black= running rich
Blue= coolant
White= oil

Bubbles in coolant could also mean that it just needs bleeding.

Not to be off subject but did you happen to get those free pancakes at IHOP? Because I had free pancakes there today as well lmao. I am actually having the same problem all of my gaskets have been replaced minus the head gasket so I am just going to replace that and see if it fixes my problem....either way I was going to replace it anyways.

I was until I reread it and see that I also fucked up:naw:

white = water
blue = oil
black = rich

[Sonic Motor]

lol, its ok. I guess you had too many pancakes as well!

I had 4 myself. *high five*

you take the cap off and look

[s14_mike]

if it's blue and white smoke there is a possiblity that your rings arn't expanding all of the way and you're possibly getting some blow by causing the smoke, not a lot of smoke, but a little mainly on accelereation for a short duration of time? eh just my $.02

yea that how mine is...the last guy that had the car dint drive the car for like a year...smoke looke white with blue so im hope its not headgasket btw were u guys get free pancakes lol

[S13cl9kid]

you take the cap off and look
yes took the cap off and no bubles

[project-D180]

vavle bein slightly bent can let oil or coolant leak in to the pistons or exhaust headers and burn off

[S13cl9kid]

well just did a compression test and i show that on 1 and 2 compression is 160 and 3 and 4 its at 170

[rex2sx]

Your compression is fine..And it still smokes?

How bad is it?

[S13cl9kid]

well its pretty bad specialy after running a couple tims on the track starts to smoke more every one says i might be bruning oil but i cant find any leaks

[rex2sx]

White smoke is usually coolant but it can be oil. Did you do a cylinder leakdown test?

[S13cl9kid]

no how do u do that

[rex2sx]

To be accurate you have to go buy 1. Theyre not that expensive. They check to see how well your engine hold compression. You can have good compression numbers but fail on a leakdown.

It has 2 guages if you dont know what it looks like.

[S13cl9kid]

damm still smoking but runs strong

[Nismo240z]

sounds like bad valve stem seals if the smoke is bluish or smells like crayons, if its white it could be a bad intake manifold seal/loose intake manifold bolts, there is a water passage right next to cylinder #1 intake runner

[sweet89s13]

you are all........... special

Awhile back my otherwise stock KA was putting out white smoke through the exhaust. It turned out to be a crappy fuel injector. Not sure if you checked yours out but it's worth a shot if you can swap another one in to test it out.

well a couple guys tell me that it smells like its running rich also i change them and no still smokes and its not all the time only when i take long drives or while drifting some times idle

[SilviaSR20DET]

ive had a smoking problem thats white and i think its from running too rich or maybe overfilling oil. Just to give you a heads up. Check your tps as well it could cause you to run rich and white smoke will come out.
