zaxfire69 Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 I'm not sure about smoke. First clarify, what color smoke? Black??? If so it could be running rich. Map sensor will give you a crappy idle and a rich mixture. Cause the car to run like azz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
str86diesel Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 No a bad map sensor won't make your car smoke. Typically smoke is called by something like burning oil Quote 2k6 Dodge Ram 2500...CUMMINS POWERED - SOLD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reinke Posted August 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 the smoke is pure white. when i took the plugs out 2 of them were covered in this white gunky shit. see the civic revival thread to see the plugs.

reinke Posted August 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 if it is a fuel problem i bet the cause are the 16 year old plugs i took out. they were FUCKED up. Quote ----reference's---- meade916 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
str86diesel Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 White stuff on your plugs means your running lean. Black stuff means your running rich. Quote 2k6 Dodge Ram 2500...CUMMINS POWERED - SOLD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reinke Posted August 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 this is the best looking plug out of the four. any ideas Quote ----reference's---- meade916 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
str86diesel Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 Is that oil on the bottom of the plug in the 2nd pic? If I had to guess, either you've got a fueling problem..or someone tried adding engine mods and hasn't adjusted the A/F Ratio Quote 2k6 Dodge Ram 2500...CUMMINS POWERED - SOLD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
