im not losing oil or water....its not alot of smoke justa little, u can only really notice it if im not moving...whats the deal? should i just give her a tune up, she needs it lolz

 

how do you notice it when your not moving? VTEC only works when its in gear, VTEC doesnt engage in neutral.

haha. what is your car/motor/ mods? are you running chipped ecu. might be rich

 

lol engaging vtec in neutral , you must have the jdm rare vtec solenoid

 

My guess is you are running rich. Bad sensor? Chipped ECU?

 

Well then i guess it smokes a little at high rpms. no im a stock d16z6 with 112k miles, with a aem dry filter short ram intake....

 

tune up! but its a good possibility its your rings

 

almost every vtec engine I have seen smokes at least a little in the higher rpm's unless it's a very new motor/car.

 

may be a leaky vtec solenoid. thats leaking oil and then hittin the hot part of the engine and smoking...

 

to bad it says 112k miles!!!! and he said he noticed it when hes not really moving

 

mine doesnt smoke or anything at all. i have a stock z6 with 140k miles. it did for about 3 days at 115k miles. i just did a tune with new plugs etc. little stuff.

 

valve seal?

 

what color smoke?
bluish white= burning oil
black= rich, or probably just needs a tune-up

Ooops. Could be rings, valve stem seals, coolent, etc. There are multiple possibiites. We'd need more info to help.

 

Yes, just look at the color of the smoke. Mine does not do it in neutral but I do get some at vtec but it's a b series with hondata so it could be rich...

If it's doing it in neutral, try getting the color, or what it smells like (don't kill yourself ). If you think it's rings, try a compression/leakdown test.

If it's not worth it, just toss it and throw a swap in It's up to you. There are a lot of tests out there to try to find your problem though, you just need more symptoms.

 

Well the color of the smoke is black...running rich maybe? i dont think the plugs have been replaced for a while....

 

definitely start with a tune-up (plugs,wires,distributor cap, and rotor)
