smokin after cam install?
smokin after cam install?
My car seems to smoke alot its not blue but not to dark eather. I just starterd to noticed it when it started to get colder outside. Any ideas? I checked my coolant it was a little low but i dont no if it just leaked out?
First, is it smoke and not just water vapor? Cause if it's water vapor, that is normal on a colder day.
Does it do it while driving or just idling? Does it go away later? Is your water pump temp sensor hooked up and working? And all your other sensors, too? You could also find out a lot by looking at your plugs and seeing if you can get a scanner on your car or log some driving time with a laptop if you have someone that can do that. It's hard to tell just from your description what is wrong.
Also where you at in WI?

well i only notice it when idling but i dont think it is water vaper because it will do it after a hour drive or so. iam pretty sure that every thing is hooked up right i got a pcm for less tune and i have no lights on in the car. i put the cam in a bout a month ago but just noticed the smoke now.also plugs look good have a good light tan color to them

When you did the cam, what else did you do? How old (miles) are your heads and did you do any work to them at the same time the cam was done?
200 miles on cam when installed parts were pacesetter LT headers,576 570 lift comp cam 113,new valve seals,springs,push rods,lifters,1.6 rollor tip rockers,timing chain and pcmfor less tune. no head work and the heads were not removed so head gasket should be good? car has 73k
