a single puff of smoke from the tail pipe thats only there upon first startup is also a leaking nozzle/fuel injector because when you shut it off at night it drips all through the night into the cylinder untill the fuel rail pressure subsides, and makes a pool of gas on the piston top that turns into that puff of smoke when you start it up the next day

@user-hm3vg5mc4x Год назад

what color is the smoke supposed to be?

@paulsosa1872 Год назад

Also if you change your own oil you'll notice the oil will smell of raw fuel a lot

@mercer982 9 месяцев назад

I know this is an old comment, but can this be caused by the sealing rings or is this most likely happening because of a stuck or dirty injector ? Just made some leak tests on my old mazda and saw a puddle of fuel on top of my piston after few minutes. And the cranking is long.

@jiouse5881 7 месяцев назад

@mercer982 7 месяцев назад

@@jiouse5881 mine was infact caused by a dirty injector. So it probably didn't close all the way and fuel leaked into the cylinder over night and pressure dropped. I tried the lazy man's cleaning method where you just directly spray the cleaner into your fuel rail so the car runs only with carb cleaner and added some injector cleaner to my fuel tank. Problem solved and mazda takes me to work every day :)

Please help me with this. We have just bought a mitsubishi mirage 3 weeks ago and when we first had it refueled, i already noticed the smell of gas inside the car but i thought maybe the smell came in when i opened the window.. so we just drove the car with open front windows to disperse the smell and the smell was gone about after 30 seconds. But now i have realized that during the second and 3rd time we refueled, the same thing happened. Is this normal? Please enlighten me.

Hello guys I have a 2008 clk350. She starts up first thing in am. But after I turn her off for about 15-45 minutes then she struggles to start up. I have to give it gas and when I give to much gas it’s a popping noise coming from the engine bay. Suggest that’s due to to much air but I was wondering if a bad or leaking fuel injector could possibly cause this problem. Thanks

@rolandomonsura5077 2 года назад

Fuel injector resistance are 8.8, 8.9, 8.8, 8.9 on a sentra 1.4 engine. If this is low, what should I do? Owner's manual says resistance should be something in the 11 and 15(?) range. Spark plugs are normal. Quick start on cold or hot. Engine's performs fine.

@ampman5357 Год назад

As the coil of the injector is most likely original, means the coil may decrease in resistance as time goes on. Considering the factory states that the coil should be 10-11 ohms, I’d say 8-9 isn’t bad, especially since you probably measured while the injector was warm/hot. That will cause impedance changes on the coil as well. As long as it runs well and you have no SES codes, don’t look for a problem.

I had a P0171, a P0420, and a P2195 code after replacing the battery in my Toyota. After some research, I figured it was the computer whacking out because it needed to relearn how all the components work and what their normal working condition is. However, knowing what condition a fuel injector is in will have a specific accompanying code helps to eliminate the fuel injector as an issue. If it's clogged or non-functional, there would be a P0301-P0308 "misfire on cylinder" error. If it's leaking externally, you'd smell gasoline in the engine bay. If it's leaking internally, you'd get a P0172 error for "rich condition". Plus, there's error P0201-P0210 to accompany any of those conditions.

@renegade637 7 месяцев назад

@lesslethal7774 On a Toyota, a p2118 code is "Throttle Actuator Control Motor Current Range / Performance"

I have this issue with my truck I got that p0172 code, should I replace the fuel injectors? when I start the truck it cranks but I have to tap the gas pedal a few times then I’ll start , the code p0172 also said system to rich bank 1 but idk if all of this is cause of my fuel injectors

@renegade637 Месяц назад

@@itsurboiijr6961 JTLYK, most of my information is from vast amounts of internet research and looking at multiple different videos to find out that one problem can have a chain reaction of error codes if the problem is one direction or another. So, I would suggest you go with process of elimination. One thing of note with regards to tapping the pedal: Is your truck fuel injected? If so, tapping the gas pedal shouldn't really be having an effect on helping the engine to turn over. My neighbor sold me a truck because it was having problems working and he didn't want it anymore. One problem was that it hesitated badly. After I agreed to take it off his hands, I replaced the battery and he pumped the gas pedal a few times claiming that that helped to get the engine turned over. The thing is pumping the gas pedal was something of necessity for older cars because newer cars are fuel injected and don't need priming. After cleaning the throttle body, it stopped hesitating.

@itsurboiijr6961 Месяц назад

@@renegade637 I’m not sure but I’ll clean the throttle body and hopefully that’s my problem because also when the truck is at a rest position and when I drive it’ll start to shake and sound like it wants to cut off and when I reverse to it’ll shake badly and sounds different also like it has a cam on it ? And normally I’ve never had to press the gas pedal for the truck to turn on I would just turn the key and boom it’s on.

Hey smart uploader, can you explain another sinmptom that you didn't cover. A very BIG BANG like a hammer while driving on the road at 2000rpms 40miles/h. The engine carried on running, I did not even stop.. no engine management light on, NOTHING. I just put a scan tool and the error was an internat error from DDE. The car is BMW, M47 engine, 2 litres diesel. Dismatle later the 2 injectors FOUND TO SEND BACK TO THE TANK A LOT OF FUEL. Almost triple the amount of other 2... replaced the injectors temporary with 2 other I had already of ebay. Car is back to normal at moment. Never had any, I mean any issues with the injectors in 300k miles that are on the clock. I have ISTA+ diagosing tool for my car so the car is read now and them or when error appears on the dash.. I used for almost 250k mile 2 stroke oil mixed with diesel.. Nozzles tested with brake spray for pattern and blockage on al injectors removed or installed. No issue. Could you put your mind at my stance, situation I faced? And give me a reason? The car has Bosch injector.

Yo! Mines wasnt leaking till i touched it and it shot out feom the nozzle. Im actually looking for a solution to my problem. At stop lights, when i try to accelerate, it acts like its not getting enough gas or the right mix of gas and air...so the motor shuts off..or at 70mph and j have my foot on the gas, it will not let me give it gas. Bc its not getting any, the motor shuts off. The other day, while it was cold i started it and turned on the a/c, it died right away. Its getting too hot and emitting a white smoke from an "under-the-hood exhaust" looking thing. Ive changed the filter, the pumps motor and filter and the tps...no one has an obd1 reader so i had to put in into manual and pull the code myself. 31. In the Chilton(extra repair manual) it says 31 is an air flow meter. Does this sound correct?
