2 Questions. re: AFPR & Puff of smoke.

[CajunKenny]

Question #1:

I just installed my Aeromotive AFPR this weekend and now my car cranks longer prior to starting. Is this normal with these regulators? Once started there are no issues. There don't appear to be any leaks and fuel pressure is set to 35psi.

Question #2:

Unrelated to Question #1, every now and again at idle or throttle let off I'll get a puff of blue-ish smoke out of the exhaust. It happens mostly when the car is idle stumbling. Any ideas there?

Car has 117k on it and my mods are in my signature.

Thanks my Supramaniac-in-ators! :naughty:

did you set the FP with vaccum on or off? might have a small vaccum leak.

semi/unrelated to #2 might be turbo starting to head out

 

[CajunKenny]

I set the pressure with the vacum tube off.

My turbo is new; but, it did the same smoke thing prior to the new turbo and prior to the regulator.

Smoke could be valve seals. Do you smell burning oil after engine breaking.

 

[CajunKenny]

Yeah, sometimes then and sometimes just at idle. It seems random though.

I'm having a similar problem.... Would cold or hot make a differance with valve seals... Smoking wise or would it do it all the time...? Smokes a bunch under boost...

If its blue smoke under boost its ususally either turbo seals or piston rings.
