When my girl first bought her car(95 Integra RS damaged front) there would only be alittle water coming out of the tail pipe. Recently her battery died(not a big deal) after starting up the car we were watching the tail pipe. Water was slowly shooting out. I revved up the car to about 5-6000 rpm and my girl says muddy looking water is coming out the tail pipe. She tried it too. Revved it up and I see chunks of this **** coming out. Does anyone know what the problem is? Bad cat or bad engine? Car has about 130,000 miles on it. Still has not been driven on the streets due to the damage and lack of funds.

 

did the car suck up water?

do a compression test to start

 

Dude dont sweat it is just some condesation but if the smoke has a tint of blue than you might have some early seal problems!! Give it a spirited drive for about a hour i will almost gurantee it there will be no water!!

 

I dont know... we got the car used and I already did a compression test. The car drives fine around the block. It just shoots out this muddy looking water.

 

it shoots out smoke but its white. It will shoot out the muddy water then shoot out a white puff of smoke.

 

Does it smell like gas?

 

very little......

 

up...

 

mabey it was in a flood? and mud got in the exhaust pipe

 

So would that screw anything up? Should I be worried about it? Should I just keep the car running and rev it up untill it stops shooting muddy looking water?

 

Try removing the header and see if its coming out of the head or if its just stuff thats sitting inside the cat, piping, or muffler.

 

i dont know if it will help but there is this stuff at napa thats called seafoam and i guess it is for high millage cars and you spray it in your intake i think and it burns everything out..a lot of white smoke comes out. my buddy just did this on his legend and said it works very well, but it sounds kinda scarry to me, i just dont know????? but good luck with the car mang

 

You should check in your radiator for bubbles when you run the engine. Also you can test for exhaust gasses in the coolant with a kit from NAPA.

If you open the radiator cap and smoke comes out you may have a block or headgasket problem.
