Where is that little puff of smoke coming from around the intake when you first try to start it?

SS_Diaz · 10-06-2012, 05:37 PM

ill have to get a closer look while my buddy comes over and starts the car up again. That may be why my interior smells like exhaust while im stopped at a light.

That thing sounds like it has a bad exaust leak as well. That is definetly smoke by the driver's side of the intake just before it fires up.

SS_Diaz · 10-06-2012, 06:00 PM

That was supposed to be fixed this last time i dropped off the car at HPS. I have a email i sent to a member on this forum with all my car troubles and a voicemail from Chris confirming he also read the email and will take care of all my problems with the car. Well that didnt happen obviously but he did fix my exhaust from rubbing on the frame of the car which didnt happen till after the kit was installed. He must of not checked the whole thing and just tightened up the v clamp holding up the exhaust. I could be wrong but at least thats what it seems, but he was aware of my exhaust smell in the cabin.

Yeah it does that's why I was asking cause it will explain alot if thats where it's coming from... Where is the exhaust leak coming from Diaz?

SS_Diaz · 10-06-2012, 06:49 PM

Its already dark outside and my neighbor wasnt home to start up the car again but i will check it out in the daylight and try to post another video from a further angle.

I would get a closer look at the drivers side of the intake not further, and you should be able to listen to the exhaust leak with the car running and get a close figure of where its at and look to see what type of connection point it is leaking at.

Dude you have a burnt spark plug wire, you can see it clearly arcing.... 0:16 on the video.

Start it up in the dark tonight and see how many others there are arcing...

SS_Diaz · 10-06-2012, 07:48 PM

Im surprised i didnt catch that after watching the video over and over looking at where the smoke originated. I called the neighbor over to start the car since its dark and it didnt spark like that again, but it didnt have the delayed start either. Turned it on and off again after that and still no spark like that. So it might only do that on the hard starts

SS_Diaz · 10-06-2012, 07:50 PM

Ill record the other side tomorrow so i can see if it does it over there to on the hard starts.
