point 2
smoke. at end of tail pipe tip, rear. ( smoke from other areas are other problems)
1: black smoke, is flooding and or excess fuel unburned, a black cloud, can be seen more clearly on motors missing the CAT, is your's missing? the CAT.
the three way catalyst?
the cat is in front of muffler and below the exhaust header (manifold) collector end.?
2: steam, is white and goes away fast, just like a tea pot in the kitchen. (a bad head gasket)
3: burning oil is white. and smells just like oil dripped from the dip stick to the exhaust manifold, and linger seemingly for ever.... very unique.
which do you have?. and when, under what conditions.?
1: only cold , only first start?
2: hot and cold (yes, when it ran last) dead motor now.?
3: only going down a hill hot in gear and , with foot off gas pedal, i look in rear view mirror and see the huge white cloud? (valve seals!)
4: at all times. i see oil burn cloud.
on old cars there are 100s of questions and tests. which to attack first, is hard to say, unless all facts , symptoms and evidence are presented.
1: smoke? when ? and /?/// above.......
2: compression is low, was it done by you , a mechanic , and if latter, he failed you, if he failed to do the wet tests. and do it hot and WOT and sparks all pulled.
3: CEL LAMP , id get that working first. due to your stated , odd issues with that.
but nostart can be addressed here.
it can only be 3 things.
