Something weird happened when i was driving home from work today. Car started to bog out,sounds something like this, bog,bog,bog and drive,bog,bog,bog and drive. Friend told me today he saw white smoke coming out the exhuast. So i took out my spark plugs and noticed a lil white on the tips,What could this be,and how mite i fix my problem, Buy new plugs??

 

i could be wrong on this but i always thought white smoke, is from a head gasket, like radiator leak maybe? our legend had the same problem when start up, white smoke we replace the head gasket and that fixed the job.... i hope that helps

 

So by replacing the head gasket should work out than eh. What head gasket would i need for a 96GSR bottom head and a B16 head??

 

Would me putting in 91 gas today when i ran 94 all the time(lost my job) have to do with this problem as well??

 

I would do a compression test to be sure that the headgasket is at fault. if that is the case, either a B16 or a GS-R one will work fine because they are the exact same.

 

Well im going to do that tomorrow,but what confuses me is why do the spark plugs have white on the tips of them??

 

did u check the oil to see if theres coolant mixed into it?

 

Never checked that,Why would that be??

 

well sure if you think it could be a head gasket problem

 

I could be mistaken, but it sounds like a fuel issue... a headgasket wouldn't make a car "bog" unless it was completly blown, and it wouldn't just return to normal.. it would bog and get worse until you can't go anywhere.

which one is it? a bit of gray could mean running ok, some white means deposits...running rich maybe?

or that. running lean would result in white plugs i believe

 

If the head gasket has blown it can push water into the cumbustion chamber of the cyliner closest to the breech, which "steam cleans" the plug tip. White plugs can indicate a head gasket failure. Run a compression test!
