in a diesel engine, no power and blowing white smoke, indicates a bad turbo on the engine
Not directly, but it can crack or blow your head gasket. (Which will cause white smoke) Happened to me =(
The most common cause of a Caterpillar see 13 diesel engine not starting and producing and a lot of white smoke is a bad camshaft. A plugged air filter can also cause the same problem.
if a diesel blows white smoke, it is a good indication of a blown head gasket you have coolant getting into cylanders being 89 model i figure it doesnt have a turbo if a turbo is installed it can be a bad turbo
Possibly a cracked head. The Ford 6.0L diesels are notorious for this. If the leak isn't bad it'll blow white smoke when cold but will be less noticeable when warmed up. You'll usually have a heck of a time starting the engine in the winter too.
White smoke usually indicates steam. I don't think a bad intake manifold gasket would cause it, but a bad or blown head gasket certainly would. More than likely it is a bad head gasket or a cracked head. White smoke means you are getting anifreeze in your cumbustion chamber (cylinder) and when it fires it is burning the moisture creating white smoke.
No. White smoke is coolant entering the combustion chamber. You more than likely have a blown head gasket.
yes it can. This is bcos when its bad, it instead allow oil frm d crankcase to be sucked directly in to the intake manifold, thereby generating white smoke.
Bad spark plugs and leads can commonly make the engine feel like its 'hesitating' or skipping a beat, often worsening in the higher rev range. However it is not the cause of white smoke. White smoke is typically associated with coolant getting into the combustion chamber. The most common cause of this is a cracked head gasket, which you will need to replace in order to rectify the white smoke.
if there is white smoke that is bad not as bad as black but still bad u need probley not work on ur car and seek perfesanal help..........for the car not u.........or maybe.
it would cause overheating but the smoke is probally coming from some sort of water or antifreeze in combustion chamber
bad head gasket
