White smoke pouring out???
A buddy of mine has a 03 powerstroke that just started dumping white smoke that smells like fuel. Any ideas?

twalk225,
First you said it smells like raw fuel out the exhaust. If this only happens when the engine is cold it may indicate a sticking injector spool valve. Did you notice if the injectors buzz for thirty seconds after the engine is turned off? If they do he should first get an updated flash for the FICM. He will need to have at least a 48.2 or higher version diagnostic computer. If they don't buzz after shutdown he already has an updated flash. Second you said it smells like fumes and the coolant was low???? Did you notice if coolant was getting blown out of the Degas bottle? This would indicate a blown head gasket, etc. Need more info: Has you friend been keeping up on oil changes and using good oil? Do you smell fuel in the oil? Stock program or custom tunes? When the engine is warmed up is it still smoking? Has there been a loss in power after the engine is warmed up? :pca1: |
Tha only thing that sounds diff.Is at idle it sound like it is chugging.Idles rough.
