Hello fellas! I’m looking for a fix for my Honda civic, 05, 1.7L manual, LX Special Edition.
So, there’s been a lot of problems with the car to begin with, but I’ll start with the one that has me stumped.
Ever since I’ve almost entirely rebuilt the head from my valves burning through, there’s been white smoke erupting from my exhaust, and the car backfiring when trying to start. It can take anywhere from 2 attempts to try and start it, to 7.
So, I thought this was a timing issue, readjusted the timing like 6 times, even replaced the belt thinking it could have been stretched. Nope.
Replaced the head gasket, nope.
Replaced the valve cover gasket, nope.
Replaced the EGR valve gasket, nope.
+
Even replaced the entire exhaust and header, thinking my CATs could have been plugged, nope.
+
Replaced my fuel injectors, nope.
Now, the interesting part for when I replaced my fuel injectors with performance ones, (as they were $200 cheaper,) my car began smoking white smoke more. And cranking continuously on cold starts, until I suppose it warms up a bit. It still backfired as well.
I can’t think of anything else it could be aside from piston rings, or possibly my ECU going out of whack. I would appreciate the help though, thank you!
