When ideling at no matter what rpm there is no smoke...Put it in gear and there is smoke..reminds me of a deisel..Any ideas?

I have never had the car do this.. Spools just fine,let off gas car dies after bov goes off.No ic pipes are blown,all are tight..The only thing not connected is the evap canister.Car starts right up,after you turn the key..


Profile should be up to date.


Thanks
Bud
 
What are you using for engine management? ECMLink? (DSMLink)

What is the color of the smoke? White, Blue, Black?

Are you loosing any fluids as far as coolant or oil as of lately?

(Going to ask) Have you done a BLT recently?

My first thought would be that you are running rich for some reason under load...

Just trying to look over some of the basics first! I know you've been around for a while and these are probably things you have already checked but lets get them out here to consider whats up.
 
Its not coolant..Ill just start throwing out stuff your pretty sure i have checked..BLT,really yes,pipes and ic all were tested before i started the car,no leaks there.

Gotta be either gas or oil..No leaks for coolant,gas,or oil..Ok hold on,oil leaking from bottom right manifold bolt..I should probably put one in there and reckec huh..LOL....Ok also pulled v,cams look great,cam caps look great,springs are great,rollers look great..

Only thing i see strange is the head studs..This is also the first time i have looked at those.Some dont look all the way down.

Oil is brand new,and still clear.


If im just feakin out....MAN.....Please let me know.

Thanks

Bud



Ps if my problem is the tune..Im sure that will be fixed asap..Ohh and i have no knock as well.
 
Im thinking it's gas. You can keep your car running by letting throttle all the way off before pushing the clutch until you get it figured out this has been working for me. You have dsmlink? What do your fuel trims look like?
 
No logger sorry..Clutch,what clutch;)

I said its not coolant twice allready..Gotta be gas or oil..Not puffs of smoke,but anytime you, OHHHHHHHH..F me..Why did i even start this thread?:banghead:


Ok sorry for wasting you time people...This thread is over.
