cranny Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 white smoke would normally indicate the car burning coolant. if all you did was change the plugs and now it burns coolant , that makes no sense. but regap them , try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90Tegtyper Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 well when you swapped them you probably got coolant in there and it sat on the piston till you started it. is it still smoking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huffa Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Explain exactly what you did when chnging the plugs, something does not sound right here. While we are on the SP subject I would not recommend Bosh at all. I bought a Accord years ago with Bosh wires and plugs and both in my opinion were not up to Honda standards for installing them in a motor. The wires were made terrible and 2 out of the four kept popping off the plug connection. Junk I tell ya, pure junk! While the bosh plugs will work, I read quite a few times to stay away from them. Maybe one plug is made for too broad of range of motors , I'm not sure WHY not to use them, but judging from the wires I had that was enough for me to stay away from their plugs. Here is one link I saved ................ http://vskabuki.blogspot.com/ ................................................................................ .............................................

I agree. Bosch is t3h suck. Go with NGK. As for the white smoke, did it keep putting out white smoke? or have you even started it again? If it is coolant, it should burn it all off and then be fine after a couple minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
