i just bought a red 92 metro with that problem too. we took a compression check of cylinders and found 2 that were gone, took head off and found #1&3 exhaust valve burned through and damaged. i replaced all 3 exhaust valved and regrounded all the valves in place. it runs fine. check your compression first, if good get back to me.


What does milky looking oil in engine with white steam from coming exhaust mean?

theres a very good chance that the engine has a blown head gasket. what is happening is the water cooling the engine is escaping past the head gasket & into the engine, mixing with the oil making it milky coloured. the water is also escaping into the cylinders, making the steam come from your exhaust, you may also have trouble when turning the engine over, with water building up in the cylinders when cooling down.


What could cause smoke white to grey in color from underneath the hood just after turning off a 1992 Honda Accord with 234K miles?

Most probably, you have a valve cover gasket that is bad, and the oil is dripping down onto the exhaust manifold, and is being burned. Replace the valve cover gasket.

What does it mean when the supercharger pulley on a 1998 Prand Prix GTP is making noise upon idling or when turning engine off?

It could be the supercharger snout itselft. I just replaced mine because it was making a sort of knocking noise. I started out just hearing it at start up and turning it off. Mine runs like a champ now along with a smaller pulley and an exhaust job.

How was starting a car in the 20's different from starting a car today?

In the 1920s to start a car you had to set it up from the driver seat first then get out and go round to the front, insert a crank handle and turn this hard (turning the engine over manually) until it started. You had to be careful that the crank handle did not fly round and hit you as it started. Today you just get in and turn a key to start the car.
