Fumes

Ford Escort 1998  190000 miles
I bought an Escort clx 1998, engine 1.8 Zetec and, when checking it before the purchase, it did not fume through the exhaust nor aerate through the oil meassuring stick or through the oil plug. The thing is that, less than 24 hours after buying it, it started fuming and quite a lot through the exhaust. There is no reaction problem and no engine noise is heard. It has also started consuming oil. What should I do to it? I would appreciate your help.

I have a turbo diesel Escort which had a similar problem and finally found out that it was a cracked piston that was causing the fuming and oil wasting problems.

If your vehicle only aerates through the escape, it might be that a valve guide is broken.

Will not stay started

The car will start but once the car is started it starts to idle low and then just turns off, the engine when running sounds rough. The spark plugs and wires just recently got changed.

Sounds like an Idle control valve, or a vacuum leak!

It might be the coil also that was what my car was doing. If you notice any lack of power or anything definitely check that.

Is the battery good?...do the headlights give okay light?...
Check the starter wires are on...
Check the fuses...
Check the igntion relay is cliking in the fuse box...(look at the fuse box...cover). If fuses and replay igntion okay...
Does the car have a larm?
If so is the immobliser working okay?
Is it a seperate immbliser...or a combined alarm imobliser all shut off or on...by one key fob?
If no alrm immobliser...
And batt is goo...try traaping the end of the starter with a hammer...it could be jammed...
Is there oil in the engine...?...how long has it been since the engine was run?
