I tried to go to school this morning and the car wouldnt start. So I waited until later today to try to crank it. Nothing happend at all and then I finally turned on. Turned the car off and tried to crank it again and big cloud of smoke came out of my air filter. I opened the throttle body and saw smoke comming from there. Not sure what is wrong any suggestions?

 

Also the day before it turned on and while i was driving the car shut off. Pretty sure my grounds are ok since i checked them and my battery is reading 12.3 volts

 

Haha the same thing happend to me. My intake like *Coughed* and white smoke came out, did it smell like anitfreeze? Im not sure of an answer but I will like to hear one. bump.

Also I would suggest doing a leak down test, to check valve seals and piston rings.

 

i have no idea what it smelt like but a cloud of smoke came out

 

anyone?

 

ttt i need help asap

Jeeesh you're quite the ******* genious

Sounds like maybe you got alittle too much water sucked up through your intake.

Or one of your piston rings might be fried causing too much oil in a cylinder.

Good luck guys

 

I'd compression and leak down test the motor just to make sure everything is working right lol

 

a friend of mine said that it could be the intake manifold gasket is blown

 

gasket

 

doing a compression test today...hope its not the piston rings

 

hey man I had the same problem, except it was in my gasket, just go to honda and get a new gasket be carefull when you take the screws out, mine broke in the middle and I had to get a freind to dril out new holes and crap.. anyways i got other probelms now..

 

check compression was at around 250 in all cylinders. Just order a hondata intake manifold gasket.. hope its the problem

 

well atleast you know you have good compression, know nothing bad is going on with the cylinders, and elimitnated a possible cause

 

come down to either the distributor or the manifold gasket which im taking out tomorrow. The distributor is new but who knows anything can happen

 

took of the gasket today and it looked fine to me any other suggestions?

 

ttt
