HELP!? Rattle and clouds of white smoke on start-up!

Postby Loosey on Mon, 17 Sep 2012 6:17 +0000

Guys,

I dont know wtf is this go, but i just parked on about a 30 degree decline in my mates driveway today (nose down) and when i started my lux i got a quick/loud rattle in the engine and then billows of white smoke out the tail-pipe for the first minute or so of driving?

From reading around the forums white smoke = unburnt fuel, could i have a problem with a seal that is flooding my motor when on a negative incline?

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

I will be taking it back into Toyota on thursday to see what they will be doing about it.

Mate,

Your Injector seals have had it....what happens is residual oil on the head leaks down into the piston bores when parked nose down. Then when you start it up after a short while...white smoke. If you were to leave it overnight it would leak right through to the sump...creating the clogged pickup issue.

Get your seals replaced asap.....

I did Injectors including seals back in June for just under $2500...no smoke, no rattles, more power, better fuel economy....
