clear to light gray and thin. not real thick expect right at the starting of the motor then its alittle thick but not bad
o' yeah. then engine is running alittle rough but not that bad. im woundering about the spark plugs. wires are MSD and about 3 months old. coul dbe coil pack i guess.
Alright. Checked the oil, no water but a little on the dark golden side. I’ve been planning on my regular change anyways. Coolant looked fine but a little clearer than I thought I had it but we did put a lot of water in. O'well. And when I started it up this time, no smoke for about 10 seconds then it came. Smelled like fuel and then engine was a little rough. So, would my assumption be correct that it’s a spark problem? I'm starting with plugs tonight, then if they are fine, I’m going to test the wires in my automotive class Monday and if those are good, the last thing could be the coil packs correct? A pre-thank you to all that are or are going to help me with this [img]smile.gif[/img]

Im with maro, btw have you inspected you're spark plugs?
Well, fall is coming. Sure it ain't moisture in the exhaust??
Oddly enough, mine is doing the same thing as a good friend has told me. He says that a light smoke, fuel smelling haze comes out at a moderate-quick acceleration. It is starting to cool off significantly where I am and the moisture in the exhuast is a simple guess. I would say check your plugs for any fouls and if all good regap them and hit autozone or where ever for some dielectric grease and apply to both ends of your plug wires to ensure good conductivity. What kinda gas you've been running? All that is offered to me overhere is some cheap/umetered crap that requiered a bottle of octane booster every other tank and 98 octane (they just got some in this area for the first time about a week and a half ago). The cheap stuff will rott your sensors like crazy, I know!
plugs are going to be pulled tonight and checked for gapping. im running 87 and i have never had problems with bad gas before other than after i eat :D i already have the silicone on the wires.
i guess the moisture could be it cause i have some on my cutout cover but im pretty sure its the plugs cause the car is running kind of rough. i'll update tomorrow [img]smile.gif[/img]
it's probably just moisture. does it look like it evaporates or goes away after it floats around for a bit?
smoke lingers, no matter how long it hangs in the atmosphere.
if you were burning coolant, you'd be able to smell it. it's a very acrid and unforgettable smell. it's not a coil pack because those go out altogether instead of dying slowly.
