Hello,



I havn't had much trouble out of my car in a while...my only problem right now is that she runs quite rough at idle...I also have considerable smoke from under my hood...coming from what I think is oil getting on the bolt on catalyst. Anyway, any help would be appreciated...it almost sounds like a boinger with racing cams instead of its usual pleasant hum.





thanks,

Falcoln

like a boinger huh. thanks. at least u didnt say volkswagen, those fools wont know what hit them.



ohh yeah back to the topic. id first check for compression and take it from there.

 

I'd check the vacum lines an egr valve I hd a similar problem an it was a egr valve had blown it's guts out not sure about the smoke could be lots of things did they start at the same time..... :eh:

 

Start off by doing all the things that you normally do in a good tune up, plugs, cap, rotor, wires, fuel filter, oil, etc. Then see how it is. If it persists it is probably a vacuum leak, chase it by spraying the hoses with carb cleaner or b12 or something, if there is a leak there it will surge the motor.



Good luck,
