what color smoke
um? so whats your question?Originally Posted by fininfarina
It smokes when it runs
and smoke was white color like cloud
It has the neon motor.
That's why.
ok u exit now.
white is coolant. how often does he have to add coolant. if the cloud is as big as your saying im putting my money on a head gasket.
I will check for it.
My buddy said it happens only when teperater gauge stays on middle
how are we suppose to answer his question with the info that was given? he could have included that the white smoke in the very first post to have gotten a better response. that would be like me sayin my car smokes. okay well what color smoke,turbo blown,compression test,oil in coolant,when its smokes (at idle or when i get on it), i mean common. was my response so out of the ordinary?
oh and a hint. the more you tell people to leave the more they're content on stayin so if you going to neg rep me then please do so. your only helping my cause, i take pride in having the most neg reps on ia.
lol well im happy u take pride in your neg reps. if i was going to neg rep i would have. as for the OP yes it could have used more info. smart ass comments dont get the info asking for more info does.
they will learn this way instead spoon feeding them everything. thats how i learned to post better and choose my words, and make sure i would describe my issue to the T. i seeing those damn threads like my vtec doesnt work.
i used to believe that spoon feed around here was fucked up. whos going to learn that way. then a quickly realized that is IA. now every now an then will i give somebody the tools and send them on there way. most times it just ends up with another post of how do i fix this now that i broke it.
^x2 I'd rather have white then blue
White= coolant
Blue= oil
Black= fuel

The 420a is pretty notorious for head gaskets.
white smoke is usually coolant and you may want to do a compression test to make sure nothing is wrong
make sure you put alot of coolant in their aswell if it's leaking pretty bad
Its probibly oil not coolant. It could be valve stem seals, pistons rings, bad pcv, etc.
If its not overheating and you are not adding coolant every day then its not coolant.
