What color is the smoke? Posted by RS [Email] (#15) [Profile/Gallery] (more from RS) on Mon, 18 Feb 2002 08:15:40 In Reply to: Hard start...and SMOKE :(, Amber, Sun, 17 Feb 2002 02:56:01 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
If it's black, then the fuel pressure regulator is probably bad. I'd bet that this is the case because you have to press the gas pedal to get it to start. It may also be the case that the gap on the plugs is too large and they need to be replaced. Check the easy stuff first. (Plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap & rotor.)
If it's white, you have coolant getting into the cylinders and it probably needs a new head gasket.
Post again and let us know.
