Ok so my car has had a hesitation problem lately, So today while it was nice out i took my throttle body off cleaned it with throttle body cleaner also cleaned my Mass air flow with MAF cleaner and also dumped in a bottle of Lucas fuel injector cleaner in the gas tank. now my car is smoking like a freight train???(LOTS of white smoke) is this from the injector cleaner or did i screw something up?

 

I would say you prolly just got a little of the cleaner in the engine. Get the engine up to temp and see if the smoking goes away.

ok i let the car idle for a good 30 min or so and it seems the smoke had went way down.

 

Thats what engine cleaner does. I seafoamed my car and it made a lot of white smoke.

 

ya i no seafoam makes your car smoke. But i have never used lucas injector cleaner before i just assumed thats what the smoke is from...atleast i hope thats what the cause is.

 

i had the same problem and after thinking about it thats what i did (got my car up to temp) seemed to clear everything away

 

good to hear. i just went out and started the car up didnt see any white smoke anymore. i think the injector clearner was just doing its job. thanks all!

 

If you want to use a really good injector cleaner use the Lucas Injector cleaner. Get the big bottle that costs like $10-$12 instead of the one use little bottle for $6. You get 6 or 7 treatments out of the big bottle and only one for the little bottle. Do I need to do the math for you on which one saves you money? Oh and the Lucas treatment will not cause white smoke, you will not see any difference in the exhaust. Oh and only use 4 to 6 oz of the treatment if you get the big bottle! Your engine will not like the full 36 oz at one shot...

good point. thanks for the help hopefully it was the cleaner burning off or something i just went on a 20 min or so drive and no more smoke car runs good.
