Car Smoking Occasionally by mine85(m): 7:55pm On Jun 17, 2022 |
If i drive for a 5mins or more, white or light blue smoke will suddenly come out and within 2 mins, it will stop. Sometimes, when i accelerate, the smoke will come out much, other times, it won't. Still yet, it smokes sometimes even i don't accelerate at all. Comparatively, most times, it doesn't smoke. But when it does, it comes out quite much and stops gradually. But when i start the car, it doesn't bring smoke. What could be the fault.? Your advice needed to also guide me with all these mechanics. Car. Is 2.2 camry |

And you are still driving it. Nigerians like to manage till it catches fire . Don't go to your mechanic so they can loose the engine. |

mine85: It your oil shorting? 1 Like |
Re: Car Smoking Occasionally by mine85(m): 9:43pm On Jun 17, 2022 |
Dozieson: Suspecting so but last mechanic opened top of the engine and seal it well, he suggested that oil maybe leaking from that side and there were stains of oil on the sides of the engine cover. I then put new oil less than 24hr ago, same thing. Though i am planning to properly monitor this new oil i just put in. I But if eventually its shorting oil... What could be next? 1 Like |

Maybe that's how the car runs ..... everything is fine. You think you have a problem.... don't you think at least you should mention the make and model of the car?.... and the year? It's normal if the car is a 1954 Chrysler anything.... we don't know what you have so how can anyone advise? 2 Likes |

Dozieson: They say if changed, doesn't last... Usually 6 months only... It goes back to square one. New engine is quite expensive 2 Likes |

mine85: Depends on the quality of the parts and mechanic. Some so-called tokunbo engines are ringed engines 5 Likes |
Re: Car Smoking Occasionally by mine85(m): 1:35pm On Jun 19, 2022 |
Dozieson: If it has been ringed before, can it be ringed again and it will work fine, if an expert did it? I am suspecting this my own has been ringed before |

Originalsly: Sorry, its 1999 - 2000 toyota camry, tiny light. |
Re: Car Smoking Occasionally by mine85(m): 1:39pm On Jun 19, 2022 |
EngRichie: What's PCV? the last oil was short but mechanic said it must have been leaking and re covered the engine top by putting a new oil seal round it. |
Re: Car Smoking Occasionally by mine85(m): 1:57pm On Jun 19, 2022 |
EngRichie: I just browsed about PCV... The information there looks as if its the problem i am facing. But none of the mechanic has told me about PCV as a possible cause. Pls, where can one find d pcv. Under the car or top area. Is there another name local mechanics call it? Is the pcv in tiny light, 1999 to 2000 model? |
Re: Car Smoking Occasionally by Dozieson(m): 2:06pm On Jun 19, 2022 |
mine85: If the bores on the engine block are still intact, then It will be fine |
Re: Car Smoking Occasionally by Dozieson(m): 2:08pm On Jun 19, 2022 |
mine85: Pcv valve is at the top left corner of the engine. It may be blocked or bad. You can replace with a new one. But most oil burns issues are not pcv related |
Re: Car Smoking Occasionally by mine85(m): 2:37pm On Jun 19, 2022 |
Dozieson: What is coolant, is it that tank connected to the radiator, can it cause smoke if no water is in it... Is there a chemical called coolant they pour in the coolant thank? |
Re: Car Smoking Occasionally by Dozieson(m): 2:53pm On Jun 19, 2022 |
mine85: Coolant is in the tank connected to radiator. Smoking can also be caused by coolant leaking into the exhaust. But this has no business with oil burns 2 Likes |
Re: Car Smoking Occasionally by mine85(m): 7:05pm On Jun 19, 2022 |
Dozieson: Thank you for your time. I will explore the coolant, the PCV, fuel injector... Before allowing them touch engine. One mechanic has already told me to ring it... That it is d cause. Thanks |

The previous owner of your car was a chain smoker, your car enjoyed it's previous owner cos he ensured that smoke saturated the whole car. Unfortunately, when you bought it, you stopped smoking and the car after growing tired of waiting for you to saturate smoke around it decided to improvise. That's what you're expecting right now. Your can has taken matters into it's own hands. This I have seen. 2 Likes |

Might be the rings. Also there are so many fake people engine oils in the market which causes gradual wear and tear of the engine so you’d need to be careful when buying engine oil. 1 Like 1 Share |

If your oil is not shortening or burning. Then you have to clean your PVC valve with carburator cleaner or just replace thePCV valve. 1 Like |
