Lots of smoke from exhaust

My sister-in law has a '95 sw2. Just recently she is getting a lot of
smoke coming from the exhaust. My dad checked the plugs, he said that
they looked fine.

This burns oil just like most Saturns of that year. It's done that for
years and this is a new development. What are some things we could check?

Thanks,
Jeff

 

Is the smoke whitish or blackish? Whitish smoke would indicate water in
the exhaust and possibly a head gasket leak. Blackish smoke would
indicate oil burning and one possibility is piston ring blow-by. A
pressure check of the coolant system would be the first step for white
smoke, and a piston compression test for black. Good luck.

 

blueish smoke would be OIL problem but blackish smoke is engine is
running too rich. You would need tp check all things that woul make
yur engine burn rich such as temperature sensors etc.

 

It cold also mean catylic converter has fialed as it helps mask and
consume smoke for oil usage when it works.

 

Why don't you admit you were wrong in the '4T65E' thread before you
continue posting more bad information?
