Fuel injector smoking smells like burning oil

I just had work done on my honda accord ex fixing the oil sending unit, valve cover and the distributor oil ring, i was driving home and the car started to stall out. I got to a gas station thinking that it might be low on gas I smelled burning oil and the car was smoking. around the fuel injectors the attendant checked the oil and it barely registered. I put oil in but now the car smells like gas after i got home

SOURCE: 95 Chevy Blazer 4.3 white smoke at idle

are you losing antifreeze? white smoke is usually a sign that antifreeze is getting into the cylinders and the result is the white smoke from the tailpipe. if you do a compression test and inspect the spark plugs for wetness you will find the cylinder that is leaking (you will have to replace the head gasket on the side if the engine if you find antifreeze in the cylinders) some times with blown head gaskets you will notice a lot of pressure in the radiator as well as air bubbles coming out of the radiator (caused by the compression coming from the cylinder through the cooling system and escaping through the radiator overflow or fill cap if you have it removed)
if there is any coolant galleries (water jackets) around the fuel plentum you may be getting the antifreeze into the intake/cylinders that way as well
hope this helps.....and keep me posted with comments here and ill be glad to assist you further.......thanks s60six!

SOURCE: '95 Honda Civic EX will not start after cleaning fuel injectors

I would talk to who cleaned the injectors, I don't know if it something they did or not. It could be a stuck open injector. The exhaust would have a raw fuel odor if it was. What it sounds like is a blown headgasket, which can just happen. The exhaust would have a sweet smell to it. Usually starts as a small leak (between cyl. 2 & 3), the engine burns the coolant while driving which you don't see. Then the coolant level gradually drops to a point where the car overheats, which warps the head, causing a large leak. Now you see the coolant burning (white smoke).
Good luck Honda Al

Nissan Maxima engine oil smells like gas. White smoke coming from tail pipe

if the oil smells like gas then there is either too much fuel entering the cylinder and not being burnt or the oil has not been changed with in the change interval. also if you take short trips a lot this can cause this as the engine won`t get hot enough to burn excess fuel and it is always in cold mode allowing more fuel supplied than is needed. the white smoke usually indicates coolant burning, but keep in mind when its cold out you will get what looks like white smoke but is steam from the exhaust. does the smoke smell like something sweet as this will indicate coolant.

Burning smell inside car. Not under hood. What could it be?

I had the same problem with my 2005 Honda Accord. I would happen only sometime but is a distant odor I smell from inside the cabin. Older Hondas sometimes have gasket problems that leak small amounts of oil onto the exhaust manifold. Ask the mechanic to go check the valve cover gaskets. They replaced a new gasket to my car at the Honda dealer and I haven't smelled that burning odor since then. Good luck.

1998 camry oil smells like fuel, 260,000 miles. out runs strong, Just replaced the valve gaskets, can anyone help me figure out what's wrong?

These engines do have chronic oil leaks onto the exhaust, hence the burning smell. When cam cover gaskets are replaced it is best to use the genuine Toyota parts, they seem to have some quality which lasts better.

Other places which leak are the distributor shaft o-ring seal, and crankshaft nose seal, behind the timing belt sprocket. These can be replaced. The crankshaft rear main seal will leak, but is expensive, so just leave it.

Honda accord 2004 4dr ex is burning oil

If the car has not overheated before, the reason you have oil burn are the valves stem seals became hard due to the engine age and can not hold oil going through valve in the combustion chamber and mixed with fuel mixture and burned,causing your back exhaust emitting blue smelly smoke. For repair a qualified mechanic is required.

92 civic engine stalled while driving; fuel pump works; replaced all plugs seeing some oil on old ones. only one plug fires; is coil still working? or the distributor? haven't checked fuel...

Hi,
Check the ignition distributor cap and clean the electric contact points it might be already dirty.

if one has a spark that means your ignition coil is still okay. Remove the whole cap and check the inside part and clean it, use emery board.
Check also the high tension wires( spark plug wires ).
Hope Fixya helps you!

89 honda accord on and off oil leaks

The bolts that hold on the valve covers may be loose, causing it to leak a little and burning oil. It happened to me once before. I tightened them up and no more problems. It may also possibly be that the valve cover gasket needs replacing

Black smoke

toddthechef, the following possibilities:
1. your honda is on fire, call 911
2. does your honda use a lot of oil? How many miles can you drive before you have to add a quart? If it is using a lot of oil, time for a rebuild or swap (engine).
3. your honda could be running way too rich (too much gas) My '92 is fuel injected, sensors tell the ECU (electronic control unit) what the operating conditions are, the ECU determines the correct amount of fuel to the engine. You probably have a bad sensor.countrycurt0
