Title: smoke in the air box
Post by: whitestanger on April 01, 2009, 04:35:22 PM

Its a 88 samurai with the 1.3L carb engine. I was out for a run and when i pulled it back in the shop there was smoke comming from under the hood. I opened the air box and it was full of smoke. What would cause the air box to fill with smoke like that.

Check your hoses, there is a small coolant line under the intake which is kind of out of site. Or you may have a head gasket about to blow. Assuming you are running a stock intake, and there was alot of steam or smoke under the hood, your airbox would suck it in.

I ran it again today i didn't have any smoke under the hood. It ran fine for 20 minutes then it didn't want to idle any more.

Have you checked your radiator to see if you have any oil in it, if so I think you have a blown head gasket.
