i have a 1984 camaro with the l69.i just replaced my passengers side air injector now my check engine light is on also the car smokes really bad on start up then kinda dies down but never quits the higher you rev it the more it smokes also it seems like im losing tranny fluid but i cant find a leak. i know i need valve seals but could i have some vac lines off or something that would cause the loss of tranny fluid and smoke?? my oil pressure is around 30 at idle and then goes to 60 at higher rpm.also the car idles around 500rpm.

 

Anyone??? i really need to get this figured out

 

Patience, Grasshopper, good things come to those who wait. . .

It's hard to imagine a connection between replacing the passenger side A.I.R. (was this the tube manifold, or the check valve) and a smoking engine. SES light could be from something that was knocked off during the process.

Retrieve the trouble code(s) and at least start from there. I can't think of any trouble code that would include smoke, though.

 

used to have a LU-5 that did this, it's problem was sludge buildup in the heads and it blocked the oil from returning to the pan .... check the heads for sludge

 

do you mean slude on the rocker arms and valve springs because my stock ones look almost brand new also i have no way of checking my codes and i just went a started it for a minute and my check engine light was off just every once in a while it will randomly come on and stay on then just go off all of the sudden. thanks for all the replys.

 

Use a paperclip to pull the codes, it's pretty high tech, matches the '80s car well.
Do a search for more info on the paperclip trick.

 

Anyone else think they can help.
