The smoke is white, and there is alot of fluid like water going off the exhaust...even after the car is at idle temp.
The ECT sensor (the green one iirc) was replaced with a new one.
I replaced it just cause the car is old...just to be sure. But there were no sings of bad cooling.
The problem was the cold idle.
RPMs id not stay at 1500 automatically as it should be.
As the engine start (cold engine) they just go to 1000, then 800, then after few sec raising to 1200 but they're not stable.
Is seems like the car having prolem with the fast idle when cold.
Well. Today I have to work, but tomorrow I'll try to put the old one to see if makes any difference.
Car parts sellers here makes ALOT of mistakes...expecially finding parts for old cars...
Anyway...after the car is at idle temp I have a stable 850rpm min.
The mechanic also did a reg to valve.
Can a wrong valve regulation cause those problems?
I'm really thinking to take off all the throttle body and sensor and take aloor at valve leash just to be sure...
PS: my car is a '93 vitara CAMI. It was build in Canada for german market, then imported here in italy.
