Ford Excursion :: Lack Of Power - White Smoke Coming From Tail Pipe While Cranking

Got a 2 wheel drive 2000 Excursion with approx. 215K miles with the 7.3L.

Slight shake in motor + you can literally floor the pedal and you'll move a little faster than a snail.

Does this sound like bad injectors? Also - tried to start it today and it was just cranking forever...Couldn't get it to start..I did notice while I was in drivers seat looking out the window...some white smoke coming from tail pipe while it was cranking...

Ford F-150 - 1997-2003 :: Blue Smoke From Tail Pipe

After tooling around town and a complete warm up cycle for the engine I encountered a problem. The situation is this.... Had to go around a slow poke....waited until traffic had cleared and nailed it. My truck belched out a boat-load of blue smoke from the tail pipe. Could not duplicate this on the return trip to the stealer (Dealer). Needles to say, I am worried about the health of the engine....(no codes popped, or anything else as I had a code reader hooked up) My truck did the blue cloud again with a rev up in park after a cool down but wouldn't do it again, but there was a strong smell of unburned fuel at the tail pipe.

4.6L, 2WD, Sport Package....

I recently purchased a 87ford escort and I think it may have been sitting for a while but it runs Problem is it jumps rattles shakes while idling same thing when driving but not as bad. I'm hoping it is just in need of tune up but it continues to blow out black smoke from tail pipe,getting oil changed today. Do you think the smoke could mean the rings are bad? Also some times it takes awhile before the car shifts when I am driving till it gets warm.

Ford F-150 - 1997-2003 :: Coolant Smell And Lots Of White Smoke From Tail Pipe

My DD just developed a head gasket leak. I've been noticing a coolant smell for a few days and today saw lots of white smoke from the tail pipe. I figured this is where my coolant was going and sure enough there is coolant coming from the driver's side head. I've ordered the gaskets and new bolts, but need the install.

I think mostly what I will need is the intake and head bolt torque and sequence. I will need to take a few days off work to get it done. Truck is a 2002 F150 with a 5.4L engine.

After running perfectly fine all day my truck will seem to bog down and when I press the accelerator the reaction is extremely delayed and tons of black smoke will come out of the tail pipe before the truck actually gains power and takes off.

Ford F-150 - 1997-2003 :: Heater Blows Hot Then Cold / Moisture Coming Out Tail Pipe But No Coolant In It

I have a 2003 Ford f150 5.4. Heater blows hot, then cold, then hot then cold. When it start blowing cold it pukes out the degas bottle. I have burped it, did the combustion test to make sure not a blown head gasket, the oil clean, there is moisture coming out tail pipe but it has no coolant in it. flushed heater core, pulled water pump off and checked it, its good. Changed thermostat 2 times, put front on ramps to get any air out. I am at a total loss now.

Ford 6.0L Power Stroke Diesel :: Smoke From Tail Pipe - Haze At Idle When Engine Is Warm

Have a lot more smoke from the tail pipe when they are running their tow tune vs their street tune? For me it seems like a lot especially right now being cold out but I still notice a haze at idle when the engine is warm. Also can smell a difference.

Getting a ficm tuner from php tomorrow so interested to see what that does for things.

Ford 6.0L Power Stroke Diesel :: 2003 - Coolant Pouring Out The Tail Pipe After BPD Oil Cooler Installation?

My buddy install a BPD air/oil oil cooler in his 2003 F250 last week and now there is coolant pouring out the tail pipe. I haven't seen it but he tells me there is quite a bit coming out. It wasn't doing this before we installed the BPD oil cooler. Normally I would say bad EGR cooler but his EGR is deleted. This is the 3rd BPD cooler I've put in and this is the first time I've had any issues after the install. The install went smooth other than we broke the radiator and had to install a new one. I feel bad cause I'm hoping it wasn't something I caused but I just can't think of anything I did during this install that would cause coolant to be getting into the exhaust. He just had it towed to the local Ford dealership.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 1997 F250 Started Blowing Steam Out Of Tail Pipe

I was driving my 97 F250 2wd the other day and it started blowing steam out the tail pipe. In recent months I have replaced the thermostat, heater core, and pressure cap on the reserve tank. I do believe I have blown a head gasket. I did check my oil fill cap and it showed signs of milky residue..

The motor in trouble here is the 4.6L gas. And I have yet to talk with my mechanic I had the thought to replace this one as it has over 330K kilometres on it. I wonder if a newer 4.6 from a similar F150 or F250 would have the same motor mounts. No, I am not looking at brand new as my budget isn't that of a millionaire. I have found a few younger 4.6 motors within my budget.

Ford 6.0L Power Stroke Diesel :: 2007 - No Crank / Heavy White Smoke Blowing Out Of Tail Pipe

I try to turn on my truck today and it will not crank. The day before I had change two injectors and I turned on the truck when two fill up my tank and I put a full bottle of injector cleaner with it. When I drove off, a few blocks down the truck turn off on me. I started to turn on the truck and every time I did it would blow heavy white smoke out the tail pipe and then it would shut off. I did this about 10 times until I decide to call a tow truck. The next day I empty out the fuel tank and fill it with diesel only. I tried to turn on the truck and it would not crank. I ended putting two new batteries and still the same result. What can this be ? 2007 6.0 Diesel ...

Passat (B5) :: Burning Oil From Tail Pipe After Idling For A While

Over the past 2 years have had oil burning from tail pipe after idling for a while. Now has gotten very bad. 98 Passat with 1.8t, no mods. Was told that turbo is bad and to make sure I should disconnect inter cooler pipe and see if oil is in pipe. Sure enough there was some oil that came out of the inter cooler. If it is just the turbo I need to buy a larger one and exhaust.

Ford 6.0L Power Stroke Diesel :: Rough Running Like Missing When Cold / Puffs Of Blue Smoke From Tail Pipe

My truck has been having this issue pretty much since I have had it, but it seems to be getting worse, or so I think.

When the truck is cold, it does not want to move very well. Like it's missing, and it does this until it gets warmer. Also, I have puffs of blue smoke come out the tailpipe when this occurs with it cold.

Injectors? Injector o-rings? Stiction?

FICM volts are good at 46.5v-48v when cranking.

Ford 7.3L Power Stroke (1999-2003) :: Little Black Sticky Soot Coming Out Of Tail Pipe / Higher Oil Pressure?

I recently installed a Banks Ram Air Intake on my stock 1999.5 powerstroke and wow did it ever wake up the turbo. A few weeks later i installed a Flo-Pro 5" stainless exhaust from turbo back with no muffler. The truck is running better than it has in years and with 272000 miles, I am pleased with the results. HOWEVER, I have since noticed a little black sticky soot coming out of the tail pipe, a bit of vapor (no oil spitting) from the oil filler tube with the lid off, and now my dip stick tube where it enters the oil pan is leaking. What is going on , or am I now chasing and fixing week points on this truck?
