ok this started about 2 days ago. i would drive as i ussually do and then when i shut the car off smoke comes from the center console where the a/c vent is and its only like a little puff of smoke for a sec then it clears out. anybody know what it could be.

Do you have A/C?? I dont know what this smoke is, but my other convertible that just got running had it when I was trying to get it started, but now its gone. I know some cars when the A/C is on, can blow out some smoke, almost like when you go outside and blow your breath in the air on a nice cold day.

Yea, is it exhaust smoke or just a sort of white mist or something. If your heater core is going it could blow out the white mist, or it could just be from you AC like Rob said. If its exhaust then I would check for leaks.

Heater core will do it. Usually they will fog up the windows shortly before they start spewing on your passengers feet! That reminds me I need to replace the heater core in my jeep.

AHHHH ******* heater core also gives you that nice disgusting smell, he would probably have noticed the windows getting fogged and scummy, and the horrid smell.

Naww it ain't all bad, nice sugary smell... mmm tasty!

https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/37.gif i have an 88 gxl that had the same proble its a big **** block cause it leaves your girl smelling like exhaust fumes and i dont think that girls like that. anyway i had leaks in my exhaust mostly in the cats but i just put straight pipe fron to back and it fixed that problem so check for leaks in the exhaust.

900 good lord thats alot of money

Turbo II 09-05-2002 05:17 PM

isnt it ur losing power or something. lose of back pressure right? more engine hp to move. that why high hp engines can run open exhaust, no backpressure to deal with

Heater core is the obvious culprit. R12 can cause a vapor cloud but a leak big enough to do that would depressureize the system.



Plus R12 has a particular smell to it.

sleeperRX7 09-05-2002 08:25 PM

dont breath in the r12 either, that **** is dangerous, ive read it can make you go blind and **** with your nervous system?

good god man, for that kind of money you better be getting a full true dual exhuast, 200 for headers, figure 400 for mufflers (not sure, havn't priced racing beat yet) and however much for soem pipe to connect the two
