Car Forum / Jaguar Cars / February 2005Smoke on Acceleration
Folks; Bought my 96 VDP from the original owner, a lady who babied it all along. 88K on the clock and I don't think I've put 500 on it in 6 months. No running problems and no codes to prevent it from passing the emissions test, but when I nail it hard, I'm getting smoke out of the pipes. I'm thinking non use, but if anyone has any suggestions, I'll look at them real hard. Thanks J.A. Jon, What colour is the smoke, blue or grey/black ?

As far as smoke goes thats the right colour to have. We're looking at something making the fuel / air mix dirty on combustion. The obvious thing to me would be the air filter. If this looks ok then its worth getting the co checked as a rich mixture could have the same effect. Let me know how you get on Stu >>Jon, >> [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] >>> I'll look at them real hard. Thanks >>> J.A. Not good. Go out and do a Italian tune-up; go out and work that engine over. A couple of full throttle trips from zero to 100mph should do it. We have leaky oily valves in our cars and perhaps the old lady just filled up the exhaust system. Also because of the oil burning I wonder what the catalyst looks like inside? Regards, Blake >Not good. Go out and do a Italian tune-up; go out and work that engine >over.

Anyone here in the states recommend Marvel Mystery Oil? Use it in the airplane once in a while. (Oops, I didn't say that!) > Tail pipes seem normal, but I'll go with it.

I think snake oil works better than Marvel Mystery Oil. -jk >> Tail pipes seem normal, but I'll go with it. Anyone here in the >> states recommend Marvel Mystery Oil?

The smoke does'nt come from the tail pipe? Hmm. Sounds like you should fling it off a cliff then. Blake I'm really confused now - How did we get from smoky Jags to strange oil in aeroplanes ? I'm off for a lie down Stu > Sooo.. > The smoke does'nt come from the tail pipe? Hmm. Sounds like you should > fling it off a cliff then. > > Blake I've got a few employees that you would appreciate. They think like you. What I should have said was that there is no appreciable black soot that appears to have collected at the tail pipe. One could easily check that by sticking their finger in it and touching the inside of a pipe, of course while it was not running and cold. Don't try this at home without your mechanic if you're unsure of the procedure. ;-) >Sooo.. >The smoke does'nt come from the tail pipe? Hmm. > >Blake Can you spare one? I am looking for an employee that flings things from high places. In this manner many of my customers troublesome machines with get the "fix" they deserve. ;-) |
