Smoke When Taking Off The Car After Long Idle


Question

Posted

Hi,

When i accelarate the car after wating at a stop light i would see some smoke comming out. This only happens it waits some time on idle before taking off. But when accelarating on the go, even in WOT i don't get smoke rather than a anoying pinging sound which i would forget that i herd on WOT for now.

The idle mixture is adjusted according to the lean drop adjustment. And even when ideling i don't see much smoke coming out. This happens regardless of the AC on or off. What could be the problem that i get smoke only when taking off after idleing for some time.

Did you find the oil level on your engine reducing after you had the above issue?

Well normally i do neary 150km per month. And the oil level drops 5mm on the dipstick 2 months after top up. I doudt that because the oil is burnt in lower rate. cause still i don't have burnt oil on my plug's electrode area. but have some little oil on the threads when i take them out.
