Ok, It's the Problem Weekend of the Month... Arrgggg...

So right after I started it up today, it was running good.

Then, it started sounding like, Glug Glug Glug Glug Glug.
Or a wumb wumb wumb wumb wumb.

The only thing I have done in recent weeks is gut the Cat.
Nothing else that I can think of.

So basically the engine is running very poorly at the moment.
Any Idea what it might be.

I did a major tuneup, about 6 months ago, so I dont think that any of those things are the problem....

sh!tty weekend here too.....

yah, so last night after makin a video of my friends mad tempo i was gonna do a brake stand so i turned around and back up to where the light was and stopped, showed him how to use the camera and as i pushed the brake in to shift to 1st guess what i noticed....

flex hose is bust and there is brake fluid all over the ground, it took me and ad all day to get out the bleeder screw and when we got out the one end of the flex hose with the brake line going into it it cracked off to be a b!tch of course!. so then we had to go get a brake line, then we took off the caliper to get the bleeder screw out(SOB wouldn't budge) and then we noticed that the one the guy at the store sold us was the wrong size so then we have to get another one and by this time it is 9PM.... it will be back on the go tomorrow i hope..

Ok, upon futher inspection. I poured some Lucas Injector cleaner in to see if that would help..

1. It helped.

2. I saw white smoke coming out of my tailpipes?
Now I know it wasn't doing this before?

I hope this helps....

Actually it might be Blue Smoke now that I think of it.

It's really bright outside, kinda hard to tell....

guting the cat was a bad idea, your losing back pressure thus losing hp. Blue smoke, check your PCV and vacum lines to it.

Injector clean won't help with white smoke, white smoke means a lean mix and usally a dieing O2 sensor.
