rainy Member 181 Member For: 22y 7d Location: central coast Posted 20/02/04 05:41 AM Share Posted 20/02/04 05:41 AM A mate of mine has a n/a xr6 and has asked me to see what u guys can come up in regards to his problem;occasionally when he starts it it will blow smoke,he uses no throttle on startup so that discounts that theory.His car has done about 5000 klickothingys and has had an oil change at 1000 k's.He has also mentioned that sometimes it can turn over a few more times before it actually fires up. I told him the best way to fix it would be to trade up to a turbo :lol: Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/9269-help-for-a-mates-na-xr6/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisrt place to look would be the coil pack or high tension leads. Sounds like it could be ignition related. The other possibility would be a slight blockage in the aircleaner or exhaust. Someone posted here problems with their catalytic converter. I'm not a mechanic but both these could effect what you describe. Ofcourse there could be a million other reasons that I am unaware of.

I'd say it's normal. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/9269-help-for-a-mates-na-xr6/#findComment-95015 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way u should have it checked. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/9269-help-for-a-mates-na-xr6/#findComment-95074 Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU does the same. I thought it was just the starting process.

Guest joshm006 Guests Posted 21/02/04 05:48 AM Share Posted 21/02/04 05:48 AM I found that the smoke is black and I am almost certain that it is fueling, on start up it is starting rich then leaning off just excess fuel Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/9269-help-for-a-mates-na-xr6/#findComment-95130 Share on other sites More sharing options...
