hey guys ive been having so many problems with this stupid car. i have the 20g turbo setup, and have been running it for about a month now, anyway i noticed that my car was idle pretty bad but i wasnt sure what it was, i changed my pcv valve and that wasnt it, i looked for any leaks and couldnt find any so i kept driving and the next day i was driving home and the power seemed like it was dieing out, and before i knew it a whole bunch of smoke started coming out of my exhaust. i looked at my temp. and it was fine it was not over heating. so i pulled over and turned it off and sat there for a bit and then tried turning it back on and it had some trouble starting up again but it eventually did and i drove it home cuz i was really close but the whole way it was dying out and througing smoke like crazy.
when i got it home i checked the spark plugs and all of them had the little glass insolution around the electrode in the cylinder broken off somehow. and oil on them but the most oil was on cylinder 2. so i thought that might have been why it was smoking so bad cuz my spark plugs went out so i replaced all of them and mad sure i gapped them. i started the car up again and once again alot of smoke coming out of the exhaust. i let the car on for about 5 minutes then i gave it some gas to see if the smoke would just blow out and even more smoke started up so i turned it off and checked my sparked plugs again and only after five minutes of having them in and have the car on, oil was on all of my spark plugs. and car is still idling kind of rough.
i dont know what the hell is wrong! car starts up fine, but just spits out all that smoke and has oil on spark plugs.
by the way i took off the valve cover and made sure it wasnt the slycone around spark plugs leaking, all of them were on right and not leaking through.
i had some oil on the stock plugs,stick a little rag in the plug hole and cleaned it out,and put the step colder plugs and its good now...even when i had the stock plugs,it was fine
Its your valve cover gasket.. first take your plugs out, spray carb cleaner down into each to get the oil to go back into the head. then put all plugs back in, problem solved. it will smoke a little from the carb cleaner, but it should burn off after 5 minutes.
i would do a compression check and see how much blow by your getting on the vent side of the valve cover. you might have broke ring lands. that is what happend to mine when my pressure regulater came apart and the pressure on my 60-1 at the time went more than 30psi on stock bottem end. good luck
