Might have engine problems
« on: May 21, 2008, 20:47:06 »
Well the bobtail has been running a bit rough the past few weeks only seems to be running on 5 maybe 6 if your lucky.

So finally got round to cleaning the dizzy/leads and plugs with WD but still not much change.

its fine for the first few minutes idles at almost 2K but after that its dropped to around 600 and really lumpy on idle.
It is slightly down on power to and now and again i see smoke out the back. not much but enough to catch the corner of my eye.

And sometimes smell burning oil but only very occasionally.

Any ideas im just not hoping its head gasket related. its a 3.5 EFi

Could it be Airflow sensor issues?

Or other sensors for that matter.. not that I know a lot about the 3.5i
