How do you stop a tractor engine from smoking?
There is no quick cure, as the engine is worn out. Have it rebuilt.
turn the engine off.
if it's black smoke you're running a bit rich, if it's blue smoke, give up, if it's white smoke in a diesel that means a sign of bad injector(s).
Many farm and non-highway diesel powered vehicles and apparatus also use non-taxable red dyed diesel fuel, which may also be a source of the smoke. This is one measure intended to prevent red dyed fuel from being used for on-highway commercial applications (which is taxable).
_____________
A couple of common things with tractors is 1. that they idle a lot. When a gas or diesel engine idles, even with a new engine fuel will gradually seep down the cylinder walls and dilute oil. Of course with more wear on the engine, that seepage tends to increase. That fuel in the oil will thin the oil and cause smoke.
And 2., tractors are often neglected when it comes to servicing and changing oil. Extended time on oil changes also causes thin oil and the smoking.
A rich running gas engine or running with the choke partly pulled will greatly increase the amount of fuel dilution. Check those.
Also, as an earlier post said, it could be just worn. But, I've seen tractor engines smoke some for 20 years or more. Old tractors just didn't have the friction reducing components and oils we do now days. You may try heavier oil or add STP Oil Treatment or a similar one to prolong your engines life a bit.

How do you fix a 1992 Mitsubishi Eclipse that is stuck in 3rd gear limp mode?
My 1992 Eclipse is doing the exact same thing, someone told me it might be the transmission computer or just the wiring. Whatever it is, this is really starting to irritate me.

What is the approximate cost of the Power Control Module PCM for a 95 Intrepid?
I have heard new modules can run in the hundreds. I typically go to a junk yard and find a car that has taken some physical damage (preferably rear end damage) and pull one out of there. $20 from my local junkyard near St. Louis. If you pull yours, get the part number off of it so you can compare. Also, google it to see if any other cars made during that time frame also used the same PCM. It could give you a much greater variety of vehicles to pull one out of. Goog luck!
AnswerI have a 2001 Intrepid and I was told by the dealer that this replacement would run about $700. The problem with the PCM (Power Control Module) is that it has to be programed to your car for it to work. Even if you buy one some where else, you will have to have someone who has the correct software, program it to your VIN number and current mileage. I found a place online (www.allcomputerresources.com) where you can order the part for about $250 and give them your VIN, etc. and they will program the part before it is shipped to you. When you replace it, you can send them back the old one and then they will provide a lifetime warranty on the one you bought.There is alot of useful info on this site for http://www.autozone.com/shopping/repairGuide.htm?pageId=0900c1528006ae36
Where is the Location of the Thermostat in a Dodge Dakota 2001 V8 47 L?
Check the hose from the radiator on the passenger side of the engine. It is in the housing where it meets the engine. facing the engine,it is on the lower part of the block,passenger side.
How do you replace cam sensor on 3.5L on 2004 intrepid?
Remove the camshaft sensor wire hanger from the upper intake plume then take the upper intake plume off then the sensor. Reverse order to reinstall. No need for a new gasket in between the upper intake and lower. There is an o-ring. I think a 10 mm socket will take off the intake. Don't remember...
How do you change 2004 Intrepid coolant air bleeder?
This part must be defective on this year intrepid because I've this part replaced twice this year and this last time it actually blew entirely apart leaving only the bleeder screw with a small piece of plastic. My advice is to have dodge repair it because it will most likely break again
Where is the PCM on a 2001 Dodge Intrepid?
The PCM (Power Control Module) on a 2001 Dodge Intrepid is located on the right side of the engine compartment just in front of the fuse/relay block. It is typically silver. There are two wiring harnesses that plug into the side.
How hard is it to remove an oil pan of a 2000 Dodge Intrepid 2.7?
Depends on what you know.The engine needs to be raised as high as in can.this is especialy hard when on the ground because you cannot jack up on the pan.Once you get it up,its a little tricky but you can wiggel it out.
How do you reset computer on 95 Dodge Intrepid?
I assume you are referring to the Engine Controller,if so you will need a scanner to reset the "codes"...disconnecting the battery will not help, but only reset the short term memory..in that case restarting the engine resets short-term memory..is it codes or no-start condition?
A 1996 Dodge Intrepid 3.5 liter V-6 does the air compressor run on a separate belt?
Yes. and you have to remove the belt that runs alternator-power steering etc before you can remove the air conditioning belt.
How do you change a crankshaft sensor on a 1994 intrepid?
Simple change out. The sensor is on passenger side of engine just behind and below the#5 sparkplug. It is held in place by a 10 M.M. bolt, and has a three wire plug that is pretty easy to unplug, provided you have 3.3L engine and I assume it is pretty much the same for larger engine also.
How do you put time back into a Dodge Intrepid?
i have replaced the timing belt, water pump, and tensioner as well as timing the engine of a 3.5 dodge quite a few times. the first time went straight by the book and almost failed to get the job done. looked all over for a puller to remove the crankshaft pulley, but totally unnecessary. the timing belt cover is in two pieces and the small bottom part of the cover is behind the crankshaft pulley, but instead of removing the crankshaft pulley all you do is rotate the crankshaft with a socket and pull handle to get to the bolts through the openings in the crankshaft pulley. as far as timing the engine, the trick i use is a pair of needle nose vise grip pliers to hold the timing belt on the proper timing mark on the camshaft pulley's. with the tensioner back all the way off the timing belt, rotate one camshaft pulley to its proper timing mark and then advance the camshaft pulley two notches forward or clockwise then use the needle nose vise grip pliers to clamp the belt to the camshaft pulley. do the other camshaft pulley the same way being sure to pull all of the slack from the timing belt between the camshaft pulleys. once you have the timing belt clamped down two notches clockwise their timing marks, then pull all the slack from the belt from the right camshaft down to the crankshaft while making sure the crankshaft pulley is aligned dead on with its timing mark. at this point all the slack in the timing belt will be located at the tensioner, use two 3" bolts on the tensioner instead of the instead of the tensioner bolts that you have remover. the longer bolts will allow you to install the tensioner without having to depress the plunger. as you tighten the bolts the tensioner will begin to put pressure on the timing belt and as it tightens it will rotate the camshaft pulleys counterclockwise and into the proper timing position by the time you have the tensioner completely tight and installed. at about half way tightening the two 3" bolts you will no be able to remove one of them and insert the regular tensioner bolt that is supposed to be there. as you tighten the tensioner you will be able to remove the second 3" bolt and insert the other tensioner bolt and complete the tightening process. watch the camshaft pulley timing marks as you tighten the tensioner and if you see the the marks are going to overshoot, back out on the tensioner and advance the camshaft pulley 3 teeth and tighten the tensioner again. this method has worked for me many times.
Where is lokated oil pressure switch on 2.7l eng.2001 Dodge Intrepid?
The switch is located on the passenger side just above and to the rear of the motor mount. The plug has one green wire in it and has a red snap clip that ahs to be snapped to one side before you can squeeze the the locking tab to get the connector off. I did it blind from up top just to see what was going on. Its a real PITA. Make sure when your are getting ready to put it back on that you make sure the inside of it is clean. You will need a 1 1/16" deep socket to r/r the switch. the new one should have a thread sealant already on it. If you can turn a wrench, yiou can handle this. The plug is a little tricky. there's a piece of it that flips open, and then there's a sealing dart in the extra port where the vent goes. Can't miss it, its black plastic and brass with a one wire connector (two if its got the vent wire installed).
What kind of transmission fluid does a 2004 Dodge Intrepid need?
It takes ATF4 - if you are just changing the filter it calls for 4 qt for the pan. If you are evacuating the whole system its 10.4 qts.
Is a 1994 intrepid obd 2 compliant?
OBD II was not available until late 1995. If it were OBD II compliant it would have a connector with a string of 8 square holes across the top and bottom of the connector. And there would be a note or sticker under the hood that reads, "OBD II COMPLIANT" Cite: http://www.obdii.com/connector If you are looking for this option for an emission inspection most states that require this inspection will require a treadmill test. The vehicle will be ran on a treadmill and the exhaust captured and ran for analysis of the emisssions content. Also, many of the states that require this inspection have limit on amount of repairs (ie. $450) before that inspection is waived. Best of Luck!
How do you repair a cracked head gasket on a 1994 Dodge Intrepid DOHC 3.5 L?
Replace the head is the proper way. I had an Intrepid that the customer didn't want to spend the money on repairing it correctly and we put a product called Irontight (from Carquest) in it. When used properly as the instruction tell you it sealed up the leak that was so bad the coolant was hitting the firewall in a steady stream. It's been 8-10 months and I still see the car (a neighbour) and it still holds coolant without any leaks. Don't know what it does to the rest of the engine components but no leaks yet.
