Can a fuel mixture problem cause a car to smoke The car has good compression new plugs and wires. The smoke is not steam or burning oil.?

What color is the smoke? If it's black, it's probably receiving too much fuel. If it's grey or blue, it's probably oil related. If the engine isn't using oil, check to see if it has a vacuum modulator on the transmission. If it does, pull the vacuum line to make sure it's clean. If there is oil in the vacuum modulator line, you're pulling Transmission Fluid into the engine. The good news is, it's usually a somewhat inexpensive repair, depending on who does it for you.

What is the problem with burning trash?
it will smell and cause co2 there happy
What would cause a 1999 Toyota Corolla to have an ongoing problem of burning oil very quickly?
Broken piston rings, blown head gasket for starters. Run a compression test to determine if it is rings, or head gasket related. Low compression on any cylinder will indicate one of these possible problems.
What will cause no cylinder compression?
A cracked or broken piston will cause a loss of compression, as will cracked or broken rings. The failure of a head gasket will also cause a loss of compression, as will broken, cracked or badly worn valves or valve seats. A crack in the cylinder itself (either the sleeve or the engine block), or a crack in the head itself will cause a loss of compression. A problem with the plug threads or the threads in the head (for engines that have plugs) can cause loss of compression, and injectors (for engines that have them) can leak around the threads, either because the injector threads or the threads in the head have been damaged.
How do you get combustion?
Any combustion needs Fuel, Oxygen and heat. In a petrol engine, the fuel and air are mixed in either a carburettor, or a fuel injector system. The heat is supplied by the spark plug and maintained once the mixture is burning rapidly. The massive expansion of the burning gas, is used to push the piston. In a CI (compression ignition diesel) engine, The air is drawn in, diesel fuel is sprayed into it and the piston compresses it. This compression alone, causes heat, which is enough to cause combustion. The same expansion of the burning gas, is used to do work on the piston.
Why do diesel engines ignite even though they have no spark plugs to ignite this mixture?
Compression and heat. The fuel/air mixture is compressed to such a high level as to get hot enough to cause the mixture to self ignite. Gas engines require a spark to ignite the fuel. Gasoline engines have a compression ratio of 8:1 to 12:1. Diesel engines have a compression ratio of 14:1 to 25:1.
What causes in 1999 Isuzu Rodeo with V6 to loose compression?
Usually, the biggest cause of a loss in compression is either worn or cracked piston rings, and the only way to restore the compression is by replacing them. Another cause would be a damaged or stuck valve, again you'd have to replace it to remedy the problem.
Engine pops through intake What is the problem?
Most likely cause is a burnt out inlet valve. You need to do a compression check.
What will happen if petrol is used as a fuel in diesel engine?
Petrol or gasoline in a diesel will cause internal engine damage. if petrol is used in diesel engine it may cause explosive sound with burning ....bcz high compression ratio ......
Your 1987 Bronco II has a miss you did a compression test that's good and put new plugs wires distributor cap and rotor button on will a bad injector cause this problem?
yes a bad or partially clogged injector could cause this problem
Why does your 5hp ohv Briggs and stratton turn very hard on compression stroke?
Because both valves (or reeds in the case of some 2 stroke motors) in the cylinder head are closed and it is compressing the air and fuel i so the mixture will ignite and cause combustion or firing of the mixture to create power to cycle the motor through the exhaust and into the next compression stroke.
Would bad gas cause low compression in your vehicle's cylinder?
worn piston rings most common problem, but sticking valves, leaking head gaskets can also cause this concern.
What can cause a compression fracture?
Compression fractures can be caused by osteoporosis, trauma inflicted on the back, and tumors that have started in the bone. Tumors that occur in the spine also cause compression fractures.
