Now blowing smoke!

[cmkelly]

Crap, crap, crap! I just fixed (or thought I did) the #2 fuel injector last month. I cranked her up after a couple of weeks and she was misfiring again. I plulled all the plug wires one by one again and sure enough it was #2. I took her out for a spin just to see how bad the problem was and she started blowing smoke. Not horribly white but close enough.

I have a couple theories but would appreciate any insight.

Thanks guys.

Maybe it wasn't entirely the injector. Maybe the plug wire/distributor issue as well?

Try to re-seat the injector. Chances are the o-ring didn't seal quite right and you're getting some fuel leakage... too much fuel into the cylinder can get you white smoke.

^True, could have cut/torn the o-ring when installing as well.

Oh get it fixed and come to the cookout meet we are having in Greensboro next month.

I'll try reseating the injector. Of course I killed the old one taking it out so I'll have to be gentle this time. It ran great after installing the replacement injector so I wonder why it would suddenly start acting up. BUT, I'll gladly take an injector problem to a cylinder problem.

Try spraying the o-rings with some wd-40 before you push it in

Loos like I killed both O-rings putting the new injector in. It worked fine for a while but it's obvious they are both cut. I'll replace them today and hopefully that will fix things. Thanks guys.

YEAH!!! New O-ring kit fixed the problem. and WD40 was the answer for getting them on and back into car. Thanks again for everyone's help. Best forum ever!

Of course, now it's raining.....
