a couple questions Options

[Guest_mon3y19_*]

1. is it normal that when i start my car, smoke comes out of my muffler? i mean it goes on and on and on. is this just because i need to change oil? or do i need to replace my muffler? it's burnt a lil bit.

2. where is the vacuum hose located? im trying to locate it and plug it so it'll stop making frickin' knocking noises and make it stop idling so high. i went under the car and couldn't find it.

thanks

OMG

ok, it depends on the color of the smoke comming out (whiteish, blueish, black). A little is fine but if it is excessive then it could be a problem.

There are many vaccum hoses in the engine bay. they are small black tubes that run from the throttle body to sensors and such. Check them all because it sounds like one (or more) is cracked or disconnected.


to put is simplily, knocking noises and a lot of smoke = bad

well im thinking that the smoke isn't that big of a deal cause only a lil comes out...and i believe its because i need an oil change...the knocking noise has to be because of the vacuum hose unplugged...my brother in law said it should be fine after i plug it in...i need to find where it goes...i looked at the diagram but can't seem to find it...there are two hose that go there next to eachother...but i can't find the other?..it's just frustrating man...i took about an hour yesterday looking all over for it...any help with pics would help...ill post up some pics if any of you guys are confused...
