My car wasnt burning oil before at least nothing I could see. I installed my new exhaust systom which has no cat. Today was the first timeI started it with the new exhaust and it was puffin smoke. Cause I had it running for about 1 min and their was smoke all in the air all the way down to 2 houses and it smelled like the races. Is this cause im running no cat now and this is the polution and smell people talk about???

 

Reset the ECU.

 

ecu?

 

Yeah ecu? Why?


What color is the smoke? Blue?

 

dont even bother with the ECU. it will smoke for a few days and smells funny to. All new exhaust do that. they burn off what ever it is they coat them with. I have had that happen too all of my cars that I put even just catbacks on. just wait a day or two its not oil burning

 

if it continues to smell and burn smoke then it may be because you now have no cat and may be running really rich from what the o2 sensor is picking up

 

Thats why i said reset the ECU. But what Mike is saying makes perfect sense. Never knew about that.

 

yea new exhaust definetly smells

 

Im not sure the color of the smoke but im for sure the smoke was coming from inside the pipes it wasnt burning on the out side. It was the first time i started it in a month so I dont know if their was oil on the valves or not. To me it smelled like oil burning my mom thought it smelt like rubber to her.It was hard to start to and wouldnt run with out me pushing the pedal down a lil bit till it warmed up.

If its rich it will be blowing black smoke right?

 

i think your car has just lost the will to live...
