oil cooler
My mechanic (who I trust) replaced my O2 sensor and exhaust manifold and the problem went away.
The main reason for exhaust temprature is the problem with the injectors.the unburnt fuel from the combustion chamber flows to the exhaust manifold while engine works.This unburnt fuel burns in the exhaust manifold burns and causes high exhaust temprature.
Possibly the O2 sensors need replacing. There's one in each exhaust manifold.
A broken piston ring is the most common cause of water in the exhaust manifold. A bad valve in the cylinder head can also cause the problem.
If you aren't hearing a lot of exhaust noise and you're just getting smoke, you have either an oil leak or antifreeze leak that is getting on the exhaust manifold. If you're getting oil on the manifold you have a fire hazard and should take care of the problem immediately. If you hear exhaust gas leaking around the manifold you need to replace the gasket or possibly the manifold is cracked and you need to replace the manifold.
A blown head gasket can allow coolant to see into the manifold, and out the exhaust. A broken piston ring can also cause this problem.
My 91 Bronco did the same thing before I found a crack in the passenger side exhaust manifold. Replaced with 50 state smog legle headers and a new O2 sensor and fixed the problem.
check nozzles and diesel pump
I have the same problem I dont know what to do My Renault Clio 1.4 is doing this same problem and I am wondering what to do when u start the car it starts to vibrate Please help
i had the same problem recently with my 92 topaz, the cause of the problem was a leak in my power steering line . the fluid was dripping on my exhaust manifold causing the smoke .
Feel the exhaust manifold at each cylinder as it is running, if an injector isn't working the manifold at that cylinder exhaust port won't get hot. Some of those Ford diesels had a problem with the electrical connection where the injector harness passes through the valve covers.
It could be running lean. Check the fuel filter. It could also be a vacuum leak or the EGR valve. It would probably be a good idea to not run it much until you've worked out the problem. There are quite a few possibilities, and some of them are not very expensive, but if the exhaust manifold is getting that hot you could be damaging your exhaust valves. If the exhaust manifold is glowing, it's not the cat-converter.
