Last year I bought a used long block for my 97 Accord 2.2 for under $80. The guy told me the engine idled poorly and had blue smoke coming from the tail pipe. Further inspection revealed excessive oil in one spark plug and oil seepage from the exhaust. Disassembled the engine and found a burnt exhaust valve probably due to oil coming through the piston oil control ring. Purchased a re-ring kit and went to work. Found #3 pistons rings totally shot out and replaced the burnt valve. Put the engine together and she started! I was so glad since this was my first project I ever did putting an engine together. I gave the car to my son to get around town when he’s not deployed in the military. I bought the car for a great deal with mechanical issues. The owner said the engine sounded like a rod bearing was going bad. When I removed the oil pan, it looked like Tinker Bell’s Dad was living in the oil pan...I still have the original engine in the garage. Maybe I can bring it back to life??🤔

You can add this one to the list: the fuel pressure regulator. If this goes out and stays in the open position, your engine will be flooded with fuel (as in it is running too rich) and cause white smoke to come out of the tailpipe. Expect a noticeable decrease in fuel economy and for the car to quickly sputter out and not want to start (or start and run very poorly) after a day or two.

@Russell-rc6qq

@@Mit_Reklaw It can, yes. Like with the fuel pressure regulator staying open, a stuck open fuel injector will eventually allow excess fuel into the combustion chamber and cause the engine to run rich. A bad fuel injector can also lead to engine overheating so it is something you want to get taken care of fairly quickly if that is in fact what's gone out.

Thanks for this video. My 2013 Ford Flex loss power & then I saw some smoke coming from behind (mufflers) I pulled over immediately & shut it off, raised the hood, checked my oil, which was fine/normal, my antifreeze was still full in reserve tank, it never ran hot but did start rough idling too. Next day auto parts store put the check engine light machine on it & it gave codes for four O2 sensors. Next day had it towed to a shop parents have used for diagnostic & told them exactly what it was doing for them to waste my time to tell me the next day they didn’t put it on the machine because of the smoke (that I told them about the day before in their shop office) & that it had a blown head gasket. I find it crazy to say that when they didn’t even put it on the diagnostic machine or do any other testing besides there was smoke so it’s a blown head gasket. After watching this video, I’m really wondering if it just needs a catalytic converter & O2 sensors replaced as thought from taking by auto parts store for the check engine light little machine that said O2 sensors four to be exact. I don’t like getting the run around when I’m trying to get my car fixed before my child goes back to school Monday. I’m her transportation because she’s out of zone & no bus is provided. Hoping tomorrow I can find an honest mechanic that will diagnose the problem instead of guessing, I can’t afford a well I thought that was the problem. So many shops are still trying to get over on women & it’s pathetic. I know some about cars & they hate when I ask questions.
@raybrensike42

Biggest rip offs I have seen in life are auto repair shops. Be careful. If you have loss of power it might be good to check the catalytic converter to see if it is clogged. I was able to clean mine with a power drill and a round wire brush and same a lot of money. Might want to start there. If you have a clogged cat you can loos a lot of power, like not being able to drive past 60 mph, but a partially clogged one can rob gas mileage. So if a cat is clogged might that cause 02 sensor readings to be bad? I don't know. I long for the days when we didn't have cats and 02 sensors, but I suppose they will never return.....unless I go electric.

Well auto supply did the check engine light check & at first it said O2 sensors, so did the O2 sensors & then it said it was 2 specific coil packs, so did those. It had the power back but still a little smoke so was driving it about two blocks away & it threw a rod right before turning into the auto supply place, so now I need a dang on motor. My friend that works on cars asked me what was I doing with a used motor in my flex & I said what? He said the markings on the motor are like when you get a used motor from a junk yard. I never put a motor in my flex. Contacted Car Max & of course they’re giving me the run around about probably can’t pull up where they bought it from. Daughter’s dad told me a few weeks ago the salesman told him it was a rental car before they got it. But they didn’t tell me the one buying it. It only had 10,056 miles supposedly when I bought it but if it was a used motor, no telling how many miles it really had. I have never blown a motor in any of my cars.

Dark Grey smoke shouldn't indicate headgasket. White sweet smoke does, and lots of it. Dark Grey or black sounds like a full filter issue or possibly fuel injector issues to a plethora nore involving the gas itself. However blue smoke= oil white smoke = headgasket, condensation. Grey/black smoke. Something bad probably. Lmao. I don't know a whole bunch but hope that helps. " yup, the engine certainly looks like an engine." 😅🤣

white smoke doesn't always mean bad head gasket/cracked block or head. It may be condensation as he said but most description say after car is fully warmed up it should disappear.. not always the case some cars just have a light thin white smoke every time on colder days. My 04 BMW M3 I noticed a thin white smoke and it was more apparent when I went catless during cold weather season. and it doesn't go away. looked at atleast 10 other videos of same car with exhaust videos and they all do it. doesn't lose any coolant level either so I figured combustion + cooler weather when those hot gasses comes out they produce steam and makes em smoke/spit a bit of water in your tail pipe.

White smoke can also be from stuck open injectors. I had this and watching all the videos thought is was coolant but it wasn't. Two of my injectors were dumping fuel and it must have been going straight into the exhaust and also into my engine oil. My engine oil was full of gas and I changed the oil and replaced the two injectors. I did crank this car over a lot and run it trying to figure things out and all that time I was dumping fuel. So I think hot fuel vaporizes and comes out the exhaust pipe as white putrid smoke. Other video's attest to this.

You are definitely spot on because I already knew that my CO2 sensor needed to be replaced and the check engine light has been on for almost 2 years and I knew the whole time, that's exactly what it was but it just now started to really cause problems with using a lot of fuel, the Gray smoke, rough idling, Etc but I would say the biggest thing now is the stuttering, fuel consumption and the gray smoke if it has a gas smell to it. This tells me that I'm very lucky and blessed and I better hurry up and get this fixed and come up with the money any way possible and pray that I don't need a new catalytic converter because it's a 2005 Lexus ES330 and if I'm not mistaken, I've got like three or four catalytic converters on my car!

Hello I have a question for you? I have an old reliable 2000 Toyota Camry XLE 2.2l four cylinder sedan. I bought it with 180k and do oil changes every 3k miles. I use straight synthetic 5-30. No service records on car. Except timing belts. Car is cutting out for a split second. No popping,or back firing. The cutting out does not seem like anything electrical. I do have a oil leak on cylinder one on the porcelain of the spark plug. I changed out the spark plugs and found this. Just ordered new valve cover gasket and spark plug oring seals. There no oil on the threads or electrode on the plug. I tend to run my gas in the tank till the yellow light in the dash comes on. But never got stuck,always was able to get to gas station. If I took it to a auto parts store and they put a scanner on the car would it show any possible problems if there are no check engine lights on in the dash? Fuel filter maybe under the hood? Any other possibilities? Thank you for your time and help in advance!! David

I have a dakota 2001 4.7 and it has a Poweraid air system added. I have been asking mechanics to tell me why I have SOME smoke out the tailpipe on occasion, but they all seem to want to diagnose it for $$$. I know about compression testing and Leak testing for Valves and Piston issues and the possibility, but this truck only smokes a very little and only when I'm doing short work (yard work) or when I put it in reverse. All videos talking about smoke don't specify that it has to be a LOT of smoke or a Little smoke to be valves of pistons. I am not wanting to put that kind of money if my problem isn't a problem. Does a Poweraid Air Boost create the potential for pockets of fuel to create white smoke? It doesn't smoke when idle, or on the highway or at stop signs...but it does when I sit for more than a couple minutes in park/stopped. I'm looking for the truth about this so I can be at peace.

Topped up the oil after a couple of hours because it was low, started it back on and it was alright, few minutes later it shows a check engine light and starts smoking(white/blueish). It says the depollution system is faulty, which usually means the fuel injector or fuel filter or pump. I completely changed the oil and replaced the filter but it still smokes and jerks, will open it up soon to look at the top gasket

I got a 04 yukon and on start up after a long period of sitting (over night). On start up if I just crank it over it will start but sound like it's choking and then large amount of smoke comes (black/gray) and it might stay running or just die. But if I just turn the key over, wait about 20sec then crank it starts up like a champ. I'm assuming it's my fuel pump I'm just curious on why the smoke. Is that just the whole fuel and air mixture being off?

Is a block tester the same as a combustion leak tester? The tool appears the same.

I have an 03 Camry that has one or two leaky valve guide seals. One thing I noticed with that problem, if I parked on a hill facing the front end down the hill and the car parked at an angle so the valve covers were sloped on the down hill but also to one side like the left side of the valve cover was on the down hill side, I got no puff of smoke in the morning. It was like, park on a slight hill with the font end sloping down hill and then jack the entire passenger side of the car up in the air about a foot. Maybe all it really would have taken was to jack up the passenger side of the car in the air about a foot to drain the oil to the left side of the valve train. I don't know. Maybe I just needed to park sloping the nose down the hill. It suggests to me that the passenger side seal or seals were leaky and with no oil covering the seal, none could leak through. That's my guess.

Hollowing out your cats and bypassing your smog pump would that cause more smoke in cold weather? Not excessive Just curious car runs great doesnt miss a beat but soon as it got a little cold lot of smoke not white not black and dissipates quickly, love the vids bro

Hey man!!! Great job on the videos. You make things simple and right to the point. Im over here fighting shrodigens box or whatever the hell his name is on how he doesnt need all this technology to diagnose a car properly. You get your hands dirty. I work as a Tech and appreciate the info you share. Sometimes we forget the basics in checking a car.

Question 08 mdx and I put in gas premium type, also added octane booster. Then left the gas station and lots of white smoke no check engine light on. And recently had the head gasket replaced. The problem seemed like it fixed. My mdx doesnt use alot of oil just did a tune up with new wires, ngk plugs. It ran fine. I stop at a cheap gas station and when I used there cheap gas it smokes white. Also is studded a little maybe foul filter needs replacing. Help please!!!!!

when there's combustion, it's expected there would be smoke, and that smoke had to go out to the exhaust pipes or is it dissipated in the catalytic converters?

Hi, it's a great and helpful video but I have a question that why engine smokes when we change oil from one company to another company like from Shell to Caltex.
