Hello I have a 94 Ply Laser with a none turbo 2.0 and it has been setting for about a year and didn't smoke when parked but now after it warms it it smokes like a freight train. I did a compression check on the car it has 190psi on all 4 cyl I just don't understand it unless its the valve seals.
Any ideas? |

Is it white, blue, or dark grey/black smoke. White smoke usually means there is some kind of moisture in the cylinders. It usually means a head gasket has popped or that it's just been sitting long enough that some moisture accumulated in the cylinders and it just needs driven.
Darker smoke means either it's running too rich or it's burning oil. I'd say burning oil is more than likely your problem. It can happen when a car sits for long enough. Get it out and get some miles on it. It may not totally disappear but it should get a little better. -------------------- "I hear he tunes the space shuttle also...and that thing is fast"

ya....wouldnt the valve seals just puff a bit on startup????......maybe the exhaust is full of moisture and needs to evaporate out....Have u driven it? and how far?
I would doubt the seals would be that bad after one year considering it didnt smoke before...but who knows.....good luck |

The smoke looks white but after it moves on out in the air it has a light blue/gray color.
I was told to do a wet test do to the compression rings can be good and the oil ring be bad. wet test # are 1=240psi 2=220 3=240 4=210 turn engine over 4 times Wet test # 1=270 2=240 3=260 4=230 turning engine over till needle holds steady The dry compression test # from first post was taken from turning engine over 4 times. dry compression test 1=210 2=200 3=210 4=210 turning engine over till needle is holding steady. This is the how to page i went by to do compression test: http://www.dsmgrrrl.com/FAQs/compression.htm Thanks for your input and replys |

Sounds alot like stuck oilrings, or a blown head gasket.
