Why doesChimney smoke appears blue?
Asked by Wiki User
Chimney smoke can appear blue due to the presence of sulfur compounds in the smoke. When sulfur burns, it can produce a blue flame, which affects the color of the smoke. Other factors, such as the type of fuel being burned and the combustion efficiency, can also contribute to the blue color of chimney smoke.

Code 45 on a 1992 Chevy Astro typically indicates a rich exhaust mixture, which means there is too much fuel relative to air in the combustion process.

It's recommended to diagnose and address the root cause of the rich exhaust condition to prevent potential damage to the vehicle.
How much does it cost to replace an exhaust system on a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee?
Asked by Wiki User
The answer is going to depend on how much of the exhaust system you want to replace and what kind of exhaust you want to use. The price will vary by a thousand dollars or more depending on what you want to accomplish.
The first thing I'd do is go to a reputable exhaust repair shop and get an estimate on a fully stock system using only the parts that they deem in need of repair. That will give you an idea of what your bottom end will be. Make careful note of the components that they suggest replacing. Then with that info you can do some shopping around and finding out what's available in the aftermarket world that will add some pizzazz to the sound of your vehicle and perhaps increase performance as well.
Just as a reference, the exhaust is broken down into the following major compontents: exhaust manifold (can be replaced with headers), the H or Y pipe which connects the two sides of a V8 equalizing the exhaust pressure leaving both sides of the engine, the catalytic converter, the muffler and the pipes that connect all that along with the associated hangers to connect it to your truck. One popular upgrade that's available is called a Cat-Back Exhaust which basically replaces everything from the Catalytic Converter on back. These come in stainless steel for long life or an aluminized steel that resists rust and typically run from close to $200.00 up to around $500.00 minus the installation labor costs. Many privately owned exhaust shops would be happy to install this for you but of course wouldn't provide a guarantee on the parts.
You might try to Google the word exhaust and see whats out there and also make some calls locally. I hope this gets you started in the right direction.
Good luck !!

Where is the PCV valve located on a 1994 chev 454 cid engine?
Asked by Wiki User
If the 1991 lumina's engine is the same as the corsica LT's, then location is pretty easy to find. In the back of the engine, located in the middle, a few inches down, should be a rubber hose about 3/4inches wide. This hose goes into a gromment in the valve covers. It should be easy to pull out by hand. At the end of the hose will be the pcv valve which should resemble a car cigarette lighter. Shake it. If it rattles then it should be okay to go. If it doesn't, then replace. Good luck. The following web address will lead you to an image of the engine and the area you will find the pcv valve in. http://img113.exs.cx/img113/182/pcv-valve.jpg

What can cause a burning smell and white smoke to come from the back wheel?
Asked by Wiki User
Sounds like the rear caliper or brake piston is not releasing all the way. I would replace this and the rear brakes. It has possibly warped the drum or disk depending on if you have disk brakes or drum in the rear. Good luck.
