WTF!!!!!! Is my motor gone????

Omars96GT · Oct 26, 2008

Ok two days ago i changed my plugs becuase i had borchs plugs in and they sucked so i swaped them out for NGK's and it was an amazing diffrence. with the old plugs i would go side ways on the street in first gear, with the new plugs i will go side ways in first gear, let go of the gas put in 2nd gear and hit it again and ill go side ways again all over the street. when i got home i let my car running for about 10 min's then i rev the motor and look back and theirs wiht smoke coming out the exhuast, i keep on reving it and it stops. the motor is idealing fine and no wight smoke coming out. i leave the car runing for another 5 mins and i rev the motor agian and wight smoke again for about 2 sec"s. also my car wasent doing this with the old plugs. help plz i hope i dident hurt anything

Hopefully, what you're seeing is condensation. I believe white smoke indicates water is getting into the combustion chamber. If it continues you should have the coolant system pressurize and checked for leaks. You could also pull the plugs and check them for moisture. I'm sure someone else has some ideas. Pearl02.

Omars96GT · Oct 26, 2008

i pulled the plug out and it was just like it came out the box. any ideas

screamin gt · Oct 26, 2008

probly just condensation. still runs fine? just keep an eye on it. does it clear up once its all warmed up?

Omars96GT · Oct 26, 2008

its not condensation im pritty shore of that, it dose it when its cold and hot

BurningRubber · Oct 26, 2008

Is it cold outside where you are at?

Omars96GT · Oct 26, 2008

na bro i live in centeral florida its max like a 85-75 at day time and thats the clod days lol

justinschmidt1 · Oct 26, 2008

I thought white smoke would indicate antifreeze...which would be a head gasket right?

I dont know ...just talking

Omars96GT · Oct 26, 2008

but come on it weird its not just going to happen over night or as a matter of fact over the 15 mins it took me to change the plugs. and by the way i dont have any big mods or producing high compreshion to blow the gaskets

Check your intake for a crack. i know a lot of the earlier years had the coolant crossover crack and it would cause coolant to get into the cylinders and when this happends you will see white smoke. when i changed mine over from the plastic one i got coolant in my spark plug whole and it made white smoke for the first couple mins, then later that day i seen a little more. but eventually went away. if you have a small leak it makes since that you see smoke once in a while. Check for leaks and if you have one don't drive it because you don't want to blow your engine because it cant compress water, but can burn coolant and burnt coolant means white smoke.

If your spinning that much, then your tires must REALLY suck. You don't have many mods at all. My 97 hooks 1st unless the weather isn't good or I am trying to launch hard. I can spin like yours in single digit temps, when the tires get rock hard and the streets are covered in salt dust.

I think it's more fun to actaully have traction and go somewhere.

As for the smoking... you may be surprised at what temperature the exhaust looks like steam, or it may be a sign of a serious problem. Impossible to say what the problem is over the internet as this though. These engines aren't bad about blowing head gaskets, but it could be from a leak at the intake manifold or any number of other possibilies.

i spin so much becuase i rool at 5-10 mph, rev it to almost 2000rpm and let go of the clutch. i like going side ways thats why i do it

i already have the metal cross over and i alway keep an eye on the tep gauge and it run cool

Check your coolant hoses then, maybe the hoses in the back somehow have a small leak that its getting inter your intake. Just examine the area you might be surprised what you see.

Omars96GT · Oct 26, 2008

well if their is anything getting into my intake shouldent it ideal rough?? my motor ideals perfect so i dont think thats the case.

also my car hasent moved ii 2 years and just now is when i got about 2 miles on her lol

Big Show 96 · Oct 26, 2008

There are 2 rubber o-ring style gaskets under the cross over that can slightly leak because of the torque from the alternator bracket that responsible for the intake cracks. You might want to look under the intake for traces of coolant.

You never mentioned that the car sat that long. Go get some fresh gas in her and rag it out, see if it clears up.

+1, and I would get the oil changed. Have you done anymore mods to the car?

Omars96GT · Oct 26, 2008

no just the plugs and thats it. the gas is about 2 months old but i start her every week and its never happend befor

+1 on this. Its probably just coolant. And the car will idle fine even with a coolent leak, mine ran just fine even though coolant was in the cylinder. Since it at for years, go and drive it and run through a full tank and see if it still gives white smoke after that.

WTF!!!!!! Is my motor gone????
