92 16v sidekick low power - billever6803 - 12-05-2016 my 92 sidekick blows white smoke on startup and smells of fuel. after about 20 sec smoke disappears and she runs decent. compression at 175-180 cold on all cylinders, 195-200 hot no more then 5 psi difference between each cylinder. At all temperatures it burns rich you can smell the fuel and plugs are black with soot. Fresh tuneup less then 1k on belt, pump, plugs, wires, cap, and 02 sensor. You can hear a slight misfire at idle and seems to go away when idles up to anything over 1k rpm's. I was thinking it was a vacuum leak but can not hear one. Sprayed intake parts with either to check for leaks and none are found. cel comes on with key and off at startup. not sure were to go from here just trying to get it running right it feels low on power compared to my 89 8v even though its supposed to have more power. any direction will help in finding out the issue.

(in my search box, fixkick.com) 5: injectors leak. do the leak test? during the FPR tests? with fuel pressure gauge. Im guessing bad 02? cheers ! RE: 92 16v sidekick low power - fixkick - 12-05-2016 this MPI system works like this the MAF measures air flow, (mass) into the engine at all times. the EFI takes that flow and then adds fuel (injection pulse widths) . The 02 corrects any errors, from above, during idle or light cruise, but not acceleration or wide open throttle. so vacuum leaks, cause lean. (02 off line) a bad 02 can be stuck at 0volts. this causes, rich. an exhaust leak near the 02, cause 0v. same ends. |
