My sister-in law has a '95 sw2. Just recently she is getting a lot of smoke coming from the exhaust. My dad checked the plugs, he said that they looked fine.
This burns oil just like most Saturns of that year. It's done that for years and this is a new development. What are some things we could check?
Thanks, Jeff
Is the smoke whitish or blackish? Whitish smoke would indicate water in the exhaust and possibly a head gasket leak. Blackish smoke would indicate oil burning and one possibility is piston ring blow-by. A pressure check of the coolant system would be the first step for white smoke, and a piston compression test for black. Good luck.
blueish smoke would be OIL problem but blackish smoke is engine is running too rich. You would need tp check all things that woul make yur engine burn rich such as temperature sensors etc.
It cold also mean catylic converter has fialed as it helps mask and consume smoke for oil usage when it works.
