1998 Mitsubishi RVR excess engine smoke problems

Report a Problem

Date:March 14, 2012, 3:32 am
Name:bobby
Location:New Zealand, Auckland, Mangere
Vehicle:Mitsubishi RVR
Year:1998
Problems:The motor still runs fine, and aside from the smoke the car is actually in good condition for age and millage 248,000k. It needs 2 new front tyres and a wheel alignment. It is also 30,000 overdue for a service. I'm not sure what needs doing to fix the smoking issue.The smoke is a light grey colour. Most of the time I can't even notice or see it. But every now and then it has a real fit and spurts out a heap of grey smoke. This usually seems to happen if the car has been standing for a while. I have also noticed it happens if I have put oil in the motor.

oil change may do wonders for it or may be worn valves not setting properly

check your valve stem seals it might have gotten hard from the standing of the car
