I'm gonna have to wait till the first of June to get a voltmeter and a compression test gauge so I can do it myself.
Yes, Jr is a real Suzuki, not a clone. The Fuse box cover (same as you pictured above) is still there, and all the fuses are good, and yes, on checking, the Diagfuse was in there. I took it out now.
I guess all I can do right now is to unbolt the ECU from the bracket so that's done, and wait till June 1st to be able to do the tests you have described.
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.?
When I first got Jr, 12 years ago, he used to burn black smoke out the exhaust on start up, and that would stop when he was warmed up. Doesn't burn black anymore. Yes, the CAT is still on Jr.
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.
Now, on start up, Jr burns bluish white smoke out the exhaust, and if there's no wind, becomes enveloped in his smoke till he warms up, then no more smoke. That usually takes about 10 minutes.
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.
The compression test was done by a mechanic. Hopefully the compression gauge is not too expensive; if not, I will get one on June 1st and do the test myself.
3: CEL LAMP , id get that working first. due to your stated , odd issues with that.
