Title: smoke after starting
Post by: tyroelite on January 17, 2004, 11:16:19 AM
Well, I had to jump start the car this morning and after it finally started, there was some heavy white smoke coming from the exhaust tips as well as from the bolts where the turbo mounts to the manifold.  It smoked pretty badly for a little while and smelled like fuel so I figured it was probably a little flooded and it would stop which it did. THe white smoke went away after just a few seconds.  I let the car run while I went in to warm up and when I came back out there was dark smoke coming from the exhaust pipes.  When I give it any throttle, smoke again comes from the mounting flange area of the turbo as well as from some area of the front left cylinder. Any thoughts as to what could be wrong specifically??  Maybe if something is plugged in the exhaust or something?? there was a good bit of smoke coming from both pipes out the back so I don't think thats the problem but i'm not really sure what it is.

thanks, it stopped actually. I think it might have just been because it had been sitting for a while
