replaced radiater hoses, battery cables, changed oil, put in new spark plugs and wires.....and it crunk up on the first try....i'm so happy. its sat up for close to 8/9 months probly. a few questions though....

1. when its running ( i only ran it for about 3-4 minutes cause it was dark and cold outside) it blows alot of white smoke. and makes the entire yard smell like gas.

2. it has a real rough idle..

3. somewhere in the engine compartmant someting sounds like a shop vac is on, either sucking or blowing air really fast and loud.


what yall think?

Sounds like a good ol' vacuum leak to me. Check ALL your vacuum hoses and fittings. It could be a PITA.

[matt0114]

damnit....ok i'll go check em..... so a vaccum leak could cause the white smoke??

[Bossman351]

Yeah, because what its doing is allowing the car to run rich. Not good for the new plugs either. The white smoke is fuel smoke.

[IcantDo55]

Smoke might just be condensation in the exhaust and oil, it hasto get to operating temp for a while to evaprerate that out. The blow or suck noise could be a vacuum hose but 5.0's uasually don't just drop hoses so I'm betting on a leak from the smog pump (if you still have one).

[matt0114]

no smog pump on car, there were a couple of hoses that used to go somewhere but were plugged?? i'll take a few pics, one of them was dryrotted, so im sure a vaccum hose has just fallen off then maybe. i dunno....

see if u could get the car to run up to operating temp to burn off if any water vapor inside thats what usually cause that especially when its cold out also thats a vaccum leak it will cause it to loose air so the comp will let up on the fuel which makes it run lean like that
