squish, bang, blow, suck
okay, my 4af is having some irregular idling problems.
not that i have a lot money to put into this econo box i thought to ask here.
from what i understand, i think that there is some oil that is getting past a cylinder. as there is some, but not a lot, of white smoke coming out the exhaust.
next step is to get it compression tested.
but what is a good standard compression for this engine?
But here is the clincher.
this only happens during idle.....so when the light turns green, and as i depress the accelerator, the car shakes a bit, but then it seems as if all 4 pistons are doing all the four strokes just normally.
This happened once before hand, and so, i thought to buy some fo that engine re-nu [bardalls engine fix in a can?] and see what could happen from there.
It solved the problem for a good 2 tanks....and then it happened again.
This engine is in pretty good shape....I have a speed auto, nothing done to it, but i did replace the spark plugs just recently.
IT gets about 520 km per tank, and has decent power for being an older car.
Aside from that, i shall sit and await patiently as to what some of you say.
