hyundai elentra 1997 big problem
 

my car had a problem before that it's using too much gas and bringing a black smoke from the exhaust and i already changed fuel bumper, air filter, spark plugs, gas filter and adjusted the air/fuel ratio.... the car became much more better and became faster and not making any stupidity anymore....

NOW the car is bringing black smoke and then it ends with a white smoke and its draining oil everytime i look on the oil scale it becomes less and it just makes that when the rpm is on 5 or more and when the a/c is working it moves too slow

can somebody help me and my car cause i love that car so much

if i were you the first thing i would do if its smoking is check the compression on all the cylinders coz it sounds like the piston rings are shot especialy if you are low on power too.[&:]

Flave has a really good point there. Do you burn alot of oil between changes? If you do can you see any leaks?

RE: hyundai elentra 1997 big problem
 

yes it is burning too much oil and i can see when the rpm just reach 5 ok and the black both with each other.. and yes when i checked the car there was so leaking but not to the extent to lose half a kilo of oil in 1 week and it is running low power but yesterday i tried the car and the max speed i got was 190 something like that i dont know really what is that problem......

ok from what i can gather from your broken english it may well be a mixture of worn engine and leaks causing the problem of excess oil consumption. you should definately get your engine compression tested. cos it sounds like worn piston rings in my opinion.

sorry for my writing it had alot of mistakes cause i wrote the reply when i just woke up lool, i will check the compression of the engine before i check the pistons ... thanks alot flave

If it's blowing black smoke i'd check the coolant temp sensor. It could be bad and telling the engine it's real cold out . Is the ck engine light on?

RE: hyundai elentra 1997 big problem
 

Blowing smoke?? Could be a number of things, worn piston rings, worn valve guide seals. Might be that the engine needs some TLC and a good overall.
Good Luck,
