ok this is a new topic probably shouldnt be but solved some issues in other topic so have just the 1 issue to solve

issue is steam coming out the exhaust when rev engine it leaves a puddle only small but leaves puddle on the floor and i get a fair bit of steam well noticeable now there is no oil in water or water in the oil have loads of compression spark plugs all fine engine running sweet or seems to be
changed maf idle control valve due to other issues i could understand headgasket etc if was using water or oil and water were mixed etc but not seen this kinda issue b4 took the car on a run no difference
any suggestions?? at a loss now as to know next step to try

just sounds like condensation from the exhaust to me.

ezz

aye thats what i thought but wouldnt ask unless thought was a problem seems ecsessive rev it it is like its spitting it out youd have to see to see if you see what i mean

zvhrst

either jus condensation or if there is ALOT

lamba sensore

ezz

there is a lot ive looked at it stuck fingers up exhaust nothing oily just water going to get some 1 to test it fer headgasket incase m8s m8 has a garage so he going to see him but thats the only other thing havent checked is lambada sensor
am i correct in saying thats the 1 thats on the cat front of engine thats a bugger to get out?
many thanx

zvhrst

yes mate thats the one,

try unplugging it, if u get even more white smoke then its working. if it doesnt make any diff to the smoke then ya need a new one or check wiring to it

ezz

unplugged it no difference same amount of smoke n water etc
had engine running 10 mins is that long enough?
plugged it back in no diff disconned again no diff
looking faulty?

Dave Parker

drive round for an hour itll disapear you always get more in cold weather

ezz

aye thing is tho zvhurst mentioned testing the sensor to which i have done the way he says and it makes no difference with the sensor plugged in or not he says should get smoke if disconed im assuming that because theres no change as he sugests and im testing it correctly i hope im assuming then that the lamba or o2 sensor jobbie is screwed

oh and btw cozzie dave if thats middleton as in leeds you aint far from me if so do u know any decnt breakers that have focus bits in cos thorpe lane aint got f*** all lol
