My newly purchased FC is now blowing white smoke.It does smoke a little on start up,here's the video



I let it idle for about 15 min then I take it for a ride around the block.and I come home to this.it smells like fuel..I get on my knees and breathe it in(I know,its stupid)


I shut it off after my drive and the tail pipes are still fuming.My tail pipes also have like oil/gas residue at the tip.my oil smells a bit like fuel.
After my drive I let the car sit for a few hrs and its really hard to start...I know it floods and my plugs are fouled. I have to do the deflooding process to get the car to start.

I'm thinking it my be leaking injectors, bad OMP. A few days ago I did have the CEL Code 20 which is OMP positioning sensor.




I was thinking about buying new plugs but I know they will be fouled out too.
Thanks a lot for your guys help so far to get this thing running right.

 

First thing you should do is change all fluids and spark plugs.

You may have a vacuum leak and or disadjusted tps. Easy fixes. Don't worry about the start up smoke. It all does a little. Depends on oil weight too.
When engine is cold, remove radiator cap and let it idle. If coolant gets pushed out, you have a o-ring failure.
You may just an overly rich mixture or leaking injectors. While you have the UIM removed to check vacuum lines ( at this time you should replace all of them and zip tie it),
see if the injectops are leaking by pulling it out and jumpering the yellow connector at pass. shock tower. (ign on/ not start).

 

OK. So what the reason behind my oil smelling like fuel? Not burninf properly?

 

flooding issues and overly rich mixture.
Another reason to change your oil when you get it fixed.

 

Aftermarket fuel pump by chance?

 

No sir. Its a auto zone pump

 

Here's a pic of my spark plugs when I let it idle for a good while









One plug per rotor is only wet...any clue?

 

To much fuel smoke is generally black, to much oil is grey and coolant is white (steam) coolant smoke is very white. Sometimes the light grey oil smoke can cause some panic since its not very dark.

 

Which plugs were wet, leading or trailing?

I would check to make sure the ignition coil that powers those plugs is working. The plugs that are working look fine.

 

I'll double check that today.thanks guys

 

looks like she's burning oil cap'n.

 

So she's done?

 

try a different weight oil and see how it reacts.

 

Idk what kind of weight it had. I'll try to use 20-50w
