Ok this one is me playing around. See the white smoke it has just started this about 2 weeks ago. Bogus told me that it was a blown head gasket. By the way I got some gas at a Wal Mart and that night it started running funny and smoking.




This is where I am just giving the car alittle gas about 2 gran maybe alittle more. Now if I am driving it is a awful ruff ride, the car feels like it has a big cam in it. It also sounds like I am giving it gas then letting off but, that's not what is going on. The sound goes up and down and going down the road it shakes the car really bad when running 50/60 and if I let off it stops. HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM IT IS MAKING ME MORE CRAZY !!!!

Dude....sorry, but that looks like blue smoke to me.

Guides/seals would be my first thought.

Rough running? Hmmm....thinking perhaps oil fouled plugs? Probably not though (not THAT much oil). More likely ignition/fuel management issues.

I agree with calm. After seeing the smoke, it sure does look like oil.

I would think the guides/seals, too. But with the mileage, it makes me think it could be rings...

If it only smokes for a little bit and then clears up -I think guide seals. But in that second video it sounds like your running on 7 cylinders. I am of the thought that if it was rings you would see smoke much more than that. Have you kept an eye on your fluids? if so have any seemed to go down more than usual?

Can you check your cylinder pressure on the passanger (right) bank? If you have one cylinder way down in PSI then you know you have a guide/seal, valve or ring problem on that cylinder. Are you seeing any codes related to the engine? I sincerly hope that your problem is a simple inexpensive fix.

I don't buy Wal-Mart gas. I got a tank in my Grand Cherokee one time and it ran like sh*t until I ran it out and put in another brand. Ran rough and felt like it was missing. I put some name brand gas in it next and went back to normal.

I fill up most of the time at a Sunoco. If I am out somewhere and need gas, then I will choose a name brand.

Wow, that 2nd video!!!

The idle just surges up down up down

Vacuum leak?? Check all the vacuum lines to see if this is a Idle Hunting issue. But the way it is doing it so fast.....I'm thinking CPU for some reason.

See if your vacuum line at the fuel pressure regulator has gas in it my 93 locked and sounded just like that i replaced the regulator and all is good.

I am thinking more like an injector overfueling in the right bank. Fact that the smoke does not start immediately with engine start is not consistent with valve guides. FPR, bad gas, and many other items would have smoke from both banks. Possibly a shorted plug wire (run it in a dark garage and look for arcing). I assume you have no engine codes showing? Pull the plugs and look for a fouled or discolored plug. Hope this helps.

I just changed the plugs and wires before I posted this. I have replaced the map ,ERG and throttle sensors. Today now that the bad gas is almost gone it seems to run aliddle better than before. I haven't checked to see if the smoke has went away. My dad said that it would smoke like that until the can of seafoam ran out of the tank. The only codes it had was the ones from above and we fixed all them. My wife drove it today and put some new gas in it from Shell. She said that it was like it's old self again. But I will see when she gets home. I am going to get the oil changed and put a can of engine restore in. I will let you guys know later, Thanks for all the help !!!! This is why I love this site !!!!

What is engine restore and where does it go?

Drop it like a hot exhaust mate, use engine oil. Dont add that to it.
