hi guys,
firstly i have exhausted the resource area for answers to this and i can find nothing..
i noticed my idle has been droping recently to around the 500 - 600 rpm mark. it occasionally idles at 2000 rpm but with a blip it either drops to 900 - 1000 rpm or climbs from the low idle back to this again as normal..
i got home today from work and whilst my car was idling on the turbo timer i could smell hot exhaust gases. i got out to see smoke coming out of the exhaust at idle... car was warm as its a hot day and i drove 5 miles home..
its is grey smoke and smells like hot oil ? temperature gauge was fine and oil level is topped up . no mayo or anything like that...
anyone have any ideas..
could this be valve stem seals ? i hope its not piston rings... :S
i don't know the common faults on the 4e-fte engine.
shall i buy a compression tester and test it at the weekend for compression..
its gash.. i've no problems until now.. any help is welcome.
