MORE SMOKE, FIRE ANYWHERE?
Yesterday;
weird indeed; replenished coolant a bit, startet like a shot!
not running smoothly, rather heavy white exhaust from pipe servicing cyl 2 and 4, running on 7 cyl.
some white smoke from pipe serving cyl 1 and 3 was there, automagic self repair over igh while I was sleeping
the white smoke from pipe serving cyl 2/4 gets less and less as the engine gets warmer and warmer
when at max temp, ie radiator fans start the smoke from the pipe is clearly visible but not much
dislike automagic self repair? yes, intensely
annoyed? very much so
It doesn't have to be cyl 1 or 3 that is not running, even if the smoke come from there. But so far I am assuming so.
But I'll look at that next time I bother to look. Rather easy to disconnect the injector plugs on these two cylinders and see if that has an effect.
Having an effect or not I will look at the two spark plugs, check that they spark and their condition - mebbe clean a bit.
Experienced smth quite similar 2-3 years back. At that the real culprit was flaky pressure from the fuel pump.
Have a spare fuel pump in my boxes, easy to swap.
Have a feeling that the Dry Martini will come early today.
cheers!
