no but oil is burning. its exhaust fumes....

over the months oil has dripped down the block and burns when ran.

no irregular colors of smoke. just i can smell it in great amounts and i get nausous or even dizzy on occasion. will cats help this? i am buying a used set of stock cats and a hpipe to pass inspection. will this take away any sound on my car??? right now i just have a hpipe.

also how can i make my ac colder and not smell bad when it first starts?

any ideas on why my car runs hotter when the a/c is on? i usually dont use it and sweat like crazy because i want my car to stay at a low temp.

 

if oil was burning, you would see it. thick clouds fo blue smoke. very noticable even with little amounts of oil burning.

ac shouldnt make ur car run hot. what gauge are u going off of?

u may have a small case of blow by

again all of this is just possibilities

and yes cats will take away sound and smell

 

but not enough sound to make the car sound stock sense it has flows right? either way i'd rather have a nice smooth ride than a smelly car.


i am running underdrive pulleys also.

im going off of the stock gauge. i'll soon have autometer short sweep gauges mounted in my ac vent.

 

AC will make your car run hotter...

 

stock gauge is junk. i can turn my headlights on and watch it rise. i have flows with 4 cats and people still ask me if its "legal". i tell them its too "legal" heh..

cant wait to rip those bad boys off

i have stock headers/h-pipe urs will prob be louder if u got headers.

at an idle it sounds really throaty and once u get moving it opens up

 

If everytime you turn something on the gauge moves...that sounds like the gauge. But if your still running low on anit-freeze. Sounds like you are burning some anitfreeze, maybe just very slowely so that not alot of smoke is being created.

But i can tell ya, not running cats makes any exhaust gas/smell twice as evident.

I can drive around all day and it doesnt bother me, but some people are more senstive to it than others.

 

Probably a head gasket! But you also might check your passenger side floor board and see if its wet? Could be a heater core!

 

Been there done that, and make sure water isnt seeping out where the hoses connect to the heater core inlet and outlet at the firewall. Also, one other thing to check and make sure off is the freeze plugs, make sure one isnt leaking. The water is going someplace.

best thing to do is lay some cardboard up under your car or park it on a nice dry part of your driveway or street and let it sit and run for about 15min, then come back out and see if you can fine some wet spots, then look around that area of the car for the leak.

 

floors never wet or anything. no unusual spots except for oil drips.

what about uprs x pipe with cats? looks pretty good and its only 289. a pretty penny but says that youll gain hp.


i just want all of these problems fixed before school starts.... so what should i do first with my cooling problem? get it pressure tested? maybe i can get my ac charged????

 

That would be a good place to start! If your not seeing any fluid on the ground I doubt it is going to be your radiator! 7 inches down is a lot of water i cant believe you dont either see it on the ground, in your oil, or white smoke coming out the exhaust!
