93 lude, smokes some 210k miles. Just doing it because its getting old or is there something easy i can do to fix this?

Also my 4ws keeps going in and out. is this normal?

Also is an egr valve easy to fix?

 

Im thinking the smoking is from valve stem seals?

 

get it some nicorrete then she should stop smoking ;D. with that many miles what have you replaced on the engine?. also what color is the smoke blue? black? white?
Blue Smoke: Blue smoke is caused by engine oil entering the cylinder area and being burned along with the fuel air mixture. As with the white smoke, just a small drop of oil leaking into the cylinder can produce blue smoke out the tailpipe. Blue smoke is more likely in older or higher mileage vehicles than newer cars with fewer miles. How did the engine oil get inside the cylinder in the first place? The car has many seals, gaskets, and O-rings that are designed to keep the engine oil from entering the cylinder, and one of them has failed. If too much oil leaks into the cylinder and fouls the spark plug, it will cause a misfire (engine miss) in that cylinder, and the spark plug will have to be replaced or cleaned of the oil. Using thicker weight engine oil or an oil additive designed to reduce oil leaks might help reduce the amount of oil leaking into the cylinder. my bet is that you might need a new head gasket. best way to find out is take it to your mechanic! I think its time for that h22a swap brotha!

 

Yeah its white smoke. and yah swap as soon as i get a few more thousand miles out of it. its a honda its got more life.

And i bought the car with this many miles :/ and i dont think anything was replaced INSIDE the engine.

 

sounds like you need a trip to the mechanic! I would say since you say it has white smoke coming out that you have a coolant leak somewhere and it could be caused by numerous things such as broken head gasket, cracked head ect. is it consistently white? or only sometimes when you hit the gas.

 

Its weird some days it will do it and some days it wont. and its really only when switch gears. Maybe even when i might clutch bad or something. I dont have money right now though to bring to a mechanic. Just got the ac repaired lol.
