So I drove my car around the other day and it was running just fine, parked it and went inside the mall for about 45 minutes to an hour. when i came back out and started the car something seemed a bit off, I let it warm back up for a minute or two, and when i drove off the car started to sputter and just wasnt running right. It almost seemed like i was missing a cylinder, but i didnt get a CEL or anything. i got the car home and hooked up my OBD II scaner to it and there werent any codes so i let the car sit overnight and started it up in the moring after i replaced the spark plugs with the same results, this time i notice that i'm getting a little bit of blue smoke from the exhaust. The car has a Vortech S/C running 9 psi with 440cc injectors and a UTECH. I just had the car tuned not to long ago and it was fine and has been running fine up until now. any ideas on were the oil smoke is coming from, and why it seems like i'm missing a cylinder?

 

Check all your plugs and coil packs. You may have a loose one, although that should cause a CEL. Did you call your tuner?

 

I changed the plugs already, I'll look into the coil packs. whats an easy way to test if the coil packs are bad?

 

Who tuned it.

 

could be a blown motor.

i'd get a compression and leakdown before you drive it anymore.

thats what i was thinking too, which isnt really a big deal seeing as how i'm dropping the car off to get the motor rebuilt for more boost anyways, just trying to figure out if i could limp the car over to the shop which is about 15 miles or if i should just shell out the money to trailer it.

BTW it was tuned by a local guy down here in VA Beach, it was a safe tune, i just think that the motor just gave up.

 

I guess thats up to you. I'd prolly just drive it over, since you'll be getting a fresh bore and all new internals anyhow

 

old thread....update please op
