Exhaust question

Bkaab · October 31st, 2009, 10:36 PM

I just picked up a 1990 Ford Mustang LX 2.3L with 138,500 miles for my winter car.
The guy who owned it hasn't drove it in a week or so. He lived next to a lake.
Today I rev'd the car up in the drive way and some that looked like black with water shot out the exhaust. It did not smell like gas or oil or anti freeze. So what could it be? The car seems to run fine.

odds are (if its black with water) is that it was UNDER water...does it still smoke? you can always pull the exhaust off and run an open header for a few mins. to see if it continues...if it does continue, then you've got a problem. so try that out and let me know what you come up with.

No smoke. I think its not doing any more or atleast not as much as it was.

Is it more than just the condensation coming out of the pipe?

looks like it went away now.
I guess because it sat for a while but now I drive it every day and I don't see anything coming out.
