Hey guys i have a problem my car will start perfect but when idle and i rev it a bit it gives off alot of smoke and i smell burned rubber from the engine. Tried driving it and it starts off good but when its shifting gears all of a sudden the engine starts giving small jolts like its not wanting to go a couple of times real fast. Then the car just will not want to move the engine revs when i push the gas but the car will not move. All the time this is happening im seeing white smoke from my exhaust. Car is not heating up not losing coolant i turn the car off and on a couple of times then it starts to drive again. Im lost would appreciate some help thanks

Pull your plugs and see if any are unusually clean, look down into the cylinder and see if the top of any pistons look shiny clean also... does your oil look milky, or creamy? If any of the above chances are you have a blown HG...

Is the "white" smoke actually white or gray, bluish black...? Do you smell unburned fuel?

Stick or auto? If stick, what happens when you apply the brake, in first , hold brake and start releasing the clutch? Does it stall out or slip?

my car is automatic and the engine oil is good not milky dont smell fuel just smell burning rubber and after a while my engine starts to make a whining noise in tune with the noise of the engine running.

Whats your tranny fluid look like?

pityocamptes

Can you pinpoint the noise?

xkitex

tranny fluid is a little dark but nothing major and the noise sounds like its coming from inside the engine.

pityocamptes

What do your plugs look like? Look down into the cylinder and see what the tops of each piston looks like...

xkitex

havent looked at the spark plugs waiting for engine to cool down a bit

pityocamptes

Ok, sometimes you can get slight HG leaks directly into the combustion chamber, but not into the oil passages. If everything checks out, we can start looking at other things...

i usually get oil on my spark plugs so i know my piston rings are going bad dont know if that would cause this.

pityocamptes

Have you checked your compression?

xkitex

ok all spark plugs looked good no oil on them inside the the cylinders look dirty this is the whining noise it sounds like its coming from the transmission

pityocamptes

Doesn't sound good... sounds like metal on metal...

im kinda lost dunno what to do never had a car that just randomly accelerates then just stops .

xkitex

whenever im switching through park reverse and neutral the noise changes higher in pitch and goes away in drive. I Think something serious finally happened to my car was hoping to reach 200k.

kinda his makes the noise but he can drive my engine spasms 3 times real quick when driving then it will not accelerate until some take passes with it off then it accelerates again.

Yes a compression test can benefit you greatly. Anytime you have an issue just do a compression test so you can rule out a bad engine or HG, then move on from there. A Compression test takes no longer than 15 mins by yourself. You'll save a little time with a friend helping.

Is it possible you recently did a DIY oil change? Maybe too much oil?

zachhthe1

I would hope one of the very first motions he performed was a fluid check all around.

xkitex

yes the very first thing i did was look at fluids and everything is good on that

The car started acting like this when i was driving and all of a sudden the engine revved up to 4000 rpm by itself real fast for like 2 seconds. The the check engine light came on and the car was rolling i would tap on the gas pedal to see if it would go and the car would not accelerate. Now it will drive fine for like 15-20 seconds and then erratically start dropping rpms then it wont accelerate again. If i shut it off and wait a couple of seconds and turn it on to accelerate it works fine again.

As a side note, you may have to pull the tranny fluid and see if metal and shaving come out or are stuck to the magnet on the plug, you may have a bearing going south...

pityocamptes

OK, you have a CEL (check engine light)? Pull the code and post back..
