cloud of smoke question
ok so yesterday i was running a mustang and i was in 4th at about 120 and a huge cloud of brown/black (i know its fuel) smoke came out of the rear but there was no pop just a hesitation and it continued to pull. it then it smoked really bad with a blue color (oil burning) i thought i could have possibly blew out a turbo oil seal. the turbos still boost and car starts easy an pulls hard (ran an m3 after the mustang)
need some help diagnosing this issue please thanks mike |
map sensor?
|
nope, just checked it. still plugged in and hose is connected on both ends.
|
:shocking: OMG:shocking: sounds like a blown motor to me....lol jk jk.:rlaugh: :rlaugh: :rlaugh:
watch out for those eclipse's and cops :) |
ok let me strip out my bose paperweight and interior also.
|
Don't dismiss the turbos just becasue the car still pulls. My turbos were leaky as hell and the car still pulled like a muthaf@wker.
|
thats what i was thinking. possibly it blew out an oil seal in the turbos because they are REBUILT turbos. and have smoked a little since day one...

Does the car smoke while idling, or only when driving while the engine has some load on it?
|
yea it smokes while idling also but only till it gets nice and hot then it only smokes sometimes at idle. i also noticed that my dip stick keeps getting pushed up a little bit.
|
Sounds like your building up crankcase pressure... Do you have your pcv valve in backwards? How many miles are on your new motor?
|
new motor has about 19,000 miles on it and i have only one hose coming off of my oil fill tube and that runs to the primary turbo inlet.
i was driving it today and my idle has always been rich so i turned the idle up to 1000rpms to keep it smooth and it seems like everyonce in a while it will drop down to about 600-800 and will slowly rise back up. the cloud that came out of my exhaust was pretty big too.. still need an explanation of that. |

Hum, sounds like my problem.....except my car doesn't smoke unless I am on it.....then a huge cloud of smoke follows me for 30 seconds or so after I let off. I hope it's not the turbo as it is fairly new.
I was thinking maybe I just needed an oil catch can since oil is comming out of my BOV! I was also thinking maybe oil was dripping on my exhaust since I haven't fixed my oil leak yet. |

Here's the strange part though, The car did not do this until I replace a blown motor. I did put in a Bridgeport motor that was originallly premix only, and we converted it back to oil injection. Not sure if if maybe now I just have too much oil in the engine.
