possible worn rings, blue smoke is normally associated with unburned oil seeeping past piston & ring,and escaping through exhaust.
in the exhaust manifold or before the catalic converter
All oxygen sensors are located in the exhaust either before or after the catalytic converter.
I just replaced mine, came to $1080 before taxes.
You may have a hole in your exhaust.
Put a filter in your exhaust to catch the smoke before anybody sees it. Err. get a new motor! lol
Take it back immediately to who ever did the exhaust work.
yes and you more thanlikley have two or maybe three. if code reads after thershold or on the downside then its after the convertor if before it will say which bank the are located in the exhaust system
I had the tensioner and belt replaced on my 93 saturn. Before hiring someone I looked into it online. My advice is that unless you have the tools and basic skills for mechanics (the basics yes, the tools no) I would suggest you take it to a mechanic and since you are doing that you might aswell have the serpinine belt replaced and tightened too. Good luck
Saturn was identified by the Greeks long before the Romans so you could say it was still called Saturn
The exhaust pipe will need to be replaced, or, you can buy a quick-fix patch at your local auto parts store as a temporary fix. It's a treated "ribbon" about 2 or 3 inches wide that you can wrap around the exhaust pipe to cover the hole. The heat of the exhaust activates the chemicals in the "ribbon" to make it adherent. I believe the product is called a muffler repair kit.
If it worked before the regulator was replaced, something was done incorrectly. If it didn't work before the regulator was replaced, the electric motor, switch or wiring may be at fault.
Is it gas fumes or exhaust? The only cause for a fuel smell inside the vehicle would be a fuel leak, so check the lines, tank, etc. for that. While you're underneath, check the exhaust. Sometimes exhaust can have a similar odor to fuel, so check for exhaust leaks under the vehicle and also check your rear door seals and trunk seals for damage or poor seal. Sometimes exhaust can be sucked in through poor seals. If you are unwilling or unable to get under the vehicle to check for exhaust and/or fuel leaks, take the vehicle to a shop and explain your concerns and ask that it be inspected. Breathing either fuel vapors or exhaust can have serious health and safety risks, so be proactive, do something about it before bad things happen.
