bigmincey Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 Just fitted the engine back in the car and the passenger side is smoking badly out the exhaust. The thing is, not all the time. It is an 89 J.I. TT auto. It does it on start up from cold then, when the engine reaches temp and you start it back up, its ok !! Turn it off, start it up and sometimes it smokes and sometimes it doesnt, Car is still up on axle stands by the way and has not been road tested yet. Also, and heres the best bit Spotted a petrol leak dripping from the passenger side turbo !! Checked all around the fuel lines, IAC valve, injectors and injector rails and nowt :mad: Last but not least, sometimes she drops a cylinder or 2 and when you switch her off and re-start it, she is ok, sometimes !! :rolleyes: Cleaned every coil pack, injector, and every other plug with contact cleaner and made sure they are all tight. Is it possible for unburned fuel to find its way through the turbo ?? The valve under the passenger wing was clicking away quite loudly so i changed that already. All suggestions and help are most welcome. Cheers, Alan...... Quote
bigmincey Posted August 21, 2004 Author Posted August 21, 2004 Might as well add that its running a type 1 ptu. Been swopped with another ptu and its still the same. Could it be a burst diaphram in the fuel pressure regulator perhaps ??? The ecm is a Blitz, maybe that ?? Any help welcome. Cheers..... Quote
bigmincey Posted August 21, 2004 Author Posted August 21, 2004 Or is it the dreaded fooked turbo ????? :cry: Quote
Guest scoops Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 petrol from the turbo??? are you absolutely sure? stick your mortgage on it sure??? Quote
bigmincey Posted August 21, 2004 Author Posted August 21, 2004 yup, its not actually coming out of the turbo, but as you look underneath the car and shine the torch up, it appears to be dripping from the bottom of the turbo. It smells of petrol really bad even walking up the drive !!! :( Just glad I never warmed it right up 1st !!! Looks, smells and tastes of petrol. !! Quote
bigmincey Posted August 21, 2004 Author Posted August 21, 2004 Sorry, should have said that it appears to be running down the side of the turbo and drips of the bottom. My mate suggested that I wait till its dark and instead of using a torch, use a zippo !!! If I cant find the leak it wouldnt matter !! :mac1: Quote
