hey my friend said while i was racing him, my exhuast will shoot out blue smoke, and sometimes white smoke, what is going on. also i installed 4-2-1 headers now it spits out fire. what is that??

and does anyone know of a good integra gsr mechanic near broward county florida.

 

are u in the panhandle?

 

it sounds to me like ur o2 sensor is all jacked
and your car is running rich

 

Rule of thumb.

blue smoke = burning oil
White smoke = coolant burning
Black smoke = Rich air fuel mixture.

This should point you to your answer

 

um.. i thought blue smoke=bad piston rings & white smoke=burining oil... and you wouldn't be shooting out fire if you still had a cat.

 

also yes i think i hasve a bad o2 sensor, also i have no cat. i have headers, resinator and piping and an aerospeed exhaust.

also wht could the problem of my car burning coolant.

 

bump...

 

head gasket

blue is oil from getting past the rings, white is coolant from a bad head gasket

you'd like to think you can't run rich enough to shoot fire out of a car with a cat but my 91 Corrado G60 used to do it everytime i got on it. but yes you're right, with a god cat that won't happen so this person's is now shot...

but i've heard of hondas pushing blue smoke right out of the factory, someone i know bought a prelude that did, and another friend of mine's parents bought a honda SUV that did it???
