Re: My 95 , talon.

what color is the smoke? White? Gray? Gray-blue? Blue? Black? When does it smoke. We need alot more info and this needs to be in problem diagnosis.

Check your front 02 sensor. I bet it's dead, causing your car to run in a really rich safe mode. Rich enough to send unburnt fuel through the exhaust.

Re: My 95 , talon.

Re: My 95 , talon.

Did you have Autozone or somewhere get the CEL code with a scanner? That would be the thing to do now so you know exactly what kind of problem the motor has so we can get a better guess at what to try next.
