hey guys ... i tried searching but didn't really end up with any help ... there's some smoke coming from the vents right under the windshield inside of my car ... there seems to be no smell and i'm not running the ac or heater ... what could this be? btw it's a 94 integra ... thanks for any help!!

 

You might have broken a coolant hose in the engine bay. Whenever I've blown a coolant hose (or the engine) i get smoke in the area where I sit.

You may have a small short in a wire causing a lil electrical fire as well.

Have you put your head underneath to see where the smoke is comming from other than "vents"?

well i noticed it while i was driving on the freeway ... it doesn't seem to be coming from anywhere else but the vents ... it's so wierd ... i've never heard or seen anything like this before ...

 

It's actually quite simple, smoke coming from the vents means it's coming from the engine bay, cause that's where it takes the air from coming into the vents. Check under the engine bay for any kind of smoke while the car is running.

 

thanks for the input ... i'll do that once i get off work ...

 

got home checked for wires and hoses ... nothing ... now i smell coolant when the vents are open or when the heater is on ... i just had the heater core replaced like two months ago and it stopped leaking coolant on the passenger side ... pull over ... touched the floor mats and wtf it's wet ... now im getting a bit irritated because i just replaced the effin heater core ... wtf???

 

bump for my toe jam slurper sister

You already know what's wrong. It's obviously your heater core. When you put it in, you cannot bend, or move the in & out passage ways. They are very fragile and will break easily.

 

the heater core is a pain in the A$$ i had one go out on me in another car that i had, i had to take the whole dash apart in order to get to it.....cheap, but not easy to replace, i dunno about a teg, never d
one one on a teg....

 

what are the chances of the heater core being bad after a month of getting it replaced?? i mean it completely stopped leaking ... now it's leaking again?? i don't get it?!

 

Could be a hose, or a clamp that's not clamping down hard enough and causing a leak. Check and see if u can find where exactly the leak is coming from.

 

well the thing is i wasn't the one who replaced it ... so i think if i go back to the same person who replaced it he's probably gonna charge the same amount because isn't it the same exact process? i was wondering will i be able to locate a leak if i just remove the glove box?
