My 2000 honda civic was smoking?
Yesterday I showed my mom the engine. (Which was a mistake). She pulled out the oil reader thing and it came out. However we managed to put it back on there. Today however, I was driving and I noticed my car was smoking. The engine is clean and whatnot but when I opened the good to see it, It was smoking in the air the oil reader was. Now the weird thing is my engine reader was on co the whole time.
It's called a dipstick.
99% of smoking issues on a honda civic are due to a leak from the valve cover gasket. The smoke you see coming out of the dipstick tube is normal in most cases, if the engine isn't running the PCV system isn't pulling the gasses out of the block.
Could be multiple things, there could be an oil leak somewhere that displays itself on the engine and burns off creating the smoke, your radiator could not be working properly, something caught in your fire wall, etc. Id get it evaluated and diagnosed. Often times a little smoke can be nothing more than engine functioning.
Sometimes a muffler bearing will lock up and cause these symptoms, have it checked by a good mechanic.
- My honda 2001 honda 400ex started smoking and lost alot of power? It smokes pretty badly like a 2 stroke and doesn't have power like it used to. Could it just be the head gasket it does have a litte oil around it? Or could it be more serious valves and rings?
- Why is my motorcycle smoking? I recently bought a 1988 Honda shadow vt800c and now after long rides a small amount of what appears to be white smoke comes from the exhaust pipe. If I turn the bike off for a minute then back on it stops. Could this be from a coolant leak? It is low but I hadn t been monitoring it closely. Also we got gas all over the bike while fixing a fuel hose but washed it pretty well with a hose. Could it be leftover fuel or something?
- Will the 2000 honda civic fog lights fit a 1998 honda civic? I don't wana do a conversion can i just cut the bumper where you normally install them for a 2000 honda civic
- Will starter from an automatic 2000 Honda civic LX fit on a automatic 2000 Honda civic HX? The lx is a 5 gear transmission and the hx is a CVT transmission. With the starter fit? Mine went out on my hx
