grrr dagum smoke!


Recommended Posts

okay, turbowagon has started smoking. Only gave me a nice blue cloud ONCE when i stood on it going around a corner, but what its current habit is, is a nice puff-cloud if I coast down in gear. I found the rough idle/dying problem I think, found a hose that is sucking air that doesn't have a clamp on it, hopefully that stops the idle problems. As for the smoke, I really hope it's just a PCV, but if it's rings, I might be needing an SPFI short block in the near future...

Your valve stem seals might be failing, which would be the next cheapest after PCV valve failure. Since it happens under high vacuum, it could be sucking oil past the stem seals. Or the rings. unhook and plug (intake side) the PCV valve for just one run and see if it still smokes.
