SOURCE: 2003 gmc 6.6 turbo diesel sometimes smoke a lot

If the smoke is white smoke and you have it after it has run for a while or when you stop at a stop sign or light it is one of two things or possibly both. I have a 2003 GMC 3500 that had the same proble. It turned out to be a combination of Injector being bad and Glowplugs. Injectors are covered up to 200,000 miles but not the glowplugs. I bought 4 glowplugs of the internet for 10.49 a piece AC Delco New. The dealer replaced all 8 injectors and 8 glowplugs. I paind for 4 GP's and the installation 213.00. Truck has more power and NO white smoke you might need to take it to the dealer. The test for the injectors is about 85.00 but well worth the expense

2014 Nissan Cabstar. The ECU management error light is on Nissan Cabstar?

Have you checked for voltage to each of the glow plugs? if they aren't getting power they won't do their job properly. What colour is the smoke? Diesels do smoke when cold but the colour can give clues as to any hidden issues. White or dark Black smoke is a fuel issue. Often the fuel/air mixture is wrong creating this smoke colour. Blue Smoke is caused by burning oil so it could be a head gasket or worn piston rings depending on the miles on the engine.

Audi 2005 2lt tdi when its cold it idle as soon I acselarate smoke come out and start to jerke please help

You didn't say what colour the smoke is. I assume it is from the exhaust and is darkgrey/black sooty sort of smoke which along with the engine misfire would indicate faulty diesel injector(s).

Why deos my car everytime i start it especially in the morning have a bkue/white/grey smoke come out of it

Don't worry about the smoke when your car starts it will mostly happen in cold mornings but as car heats up it should be gone its just cause the car has to heat up to a certain tempeture. Hope it helps.

What problem could be causing the engine to run rough and uneven (hesitates) when cold? After few minutes running, it works perfectly smooth.

Petrol or Diesel? If petrol it's probably engine coolant temperature sender and if diesel it could be a defective glow plug or cold start device/pump timing.How you had glow plug draw test done?Is there any smoke and if so what colour?

Car wont start when engine is cool

sounds like a glow plug problem,if it starts o.k. when warm,but not when cold,does it smoke a lot when trying to start it cold,if so i would say your glow plugs are either burned out or theres no power to them when you turn on the key,do you see the glow plug light on the dash,it may light,but that doesn,t mean the glow plugs are getting power

Smoking rav4

What color is the smoke? If its blueish Your buring oil. If its greyish , Your burning coolant. Black, your fuel fixture is too rich. Usually on start up its Greyish and is coolant. Which means you have a bad head gasket. Can be verified by thecolor of the coolant in the radiator may be a milky blend or you will find oil in the coolant. You can also remove a few plugs and see if there are traces of coolant on them. Good luck and keep me posted.
