MK2 kjet abf Smoking

[Diluxe]

Hi All,

I only drive my golf one day a week to work 15 miles to keep it turning over, today i noticed it struugled to turnover, and would keep misfiring, the moment i took my foot of the accelerator, it would just die, kept my foot on the accelerator and got it going  again but there was blue smoke everywhere, held it at about 2k revs until the misfiring , (smoke dissappeared about same time) disappeared and it idled on its own around 1k.

Drove to work no smoke no isuues , no high temps, any ideas whats causing the misfire & heavy blue smoke?

cheers

blue smoke would suggest it's burning oil. missfire could be something to do with the timing, did you check it when you done the conversion?

[Diluxe]

yeah timings all good, went through MOT about 2 months ago, had the CO adjust then , and its been ok, not mad powerful, but started everytime no problem, if its burning oil, does that mean major money spend?

[sharpie]

depends how much oil it's using. if only a wee bit it might be stem seals, or more could be piston rings. did you get it compression tested at any point? might be worth a shout.

[Diluxe]

yeah a couple of months ago, everything seemed fine.

I did replace the stem seals, and change the headgasket,,,, could something have gone wrong there?

It hasnt done alot of miles since conversion, 500 hundred tops

how long has the fuel been in there?  pop off the dizzy cap and make sure its not full of oil, take off the fei & tci plugs check for corrosion etc.  worth running it at night too, check if you can see anything arcing anywhere.

i only ever put in a tenner in at time, and it lasts me 2 weeks, whats efi & Tci plugs mate?

[rubjonny]

fully electronic ignition = basically what people call the 'ecu' even though it isnt technically!
transistorized coil ignition = the wee metal 7 pin thing screwed to the bracket above the fei

fuel should be ok, had a prob with my mates car due to old fuel!  worth checkin the in-tank lift pump works, pull the plug off the main pump and turn the key 1 click, lifty pump should be heard to prime

[Diluxe]

ah those two 

yeah checked the lifter pump at lunch time today, pulled the plug of the main pump, it buzzes not very loud , but can be heard

that'll be reet then, perhaps you have leaky injectors and/or 5th injector, fillin a cyly up wi fuel
