Hi all,
I just picked up a 92 colt 1.5l for a work car. It runs beautiful and only has 73,000 miles. I noticed that the car has a significant amount of air coming out the oil fill cap when initially started then 15 seconds later the air REDUCES to the equivelant to lightly blowing on your hand. I replaced the PCV valve, it does not burn oil or antifreeze. Is this normal? What else can I check? I do not understand why there is alot of air at start and only a little 15 seconds after the car has been started??? Stuck or cracked compression ring maybe?

- Thanks 66 chrgr for responding, but this seems abnormal, is something wrong in the cylinders, or is there a smog equipt problem? Thanks
Hello, It sounds as if it may indeed be a broken ring. It is getting compression inside the motor called blow-by. My suggestion would be as long as it doesn't use oil or give any other problems, I would drive it.

hi there, i took my car today to the emissions test today and it failed. they provided me with the following 6 codes, but it mentions what 3 of the codes are, the other 3 codes i guess pertain to specific car codes. My car is a 2001 Hyndai xg300, 6L, front wheel drive. it has 158,000 miles. lately it has problems starting, specially in the winter time, and when i accelerate it stall for a little and then speeds up very slowly and the problem is getting worse. i would like to know what the following codes are: p1191 p1193 p1607 thank you in advance for the help.
The car is 1992 dodge colt 200e. When you turn the key, it turn the as many time as the battery can last, but did not start the engine. I have change the distributor with no difference. Any idea?
