i did check for vacuum leaks nothing obvious

[Anthony]

no it is the 6 speed automatic transmisson

[Anthony]

doesnt really smell like exhaust at the rad. my exhaust tip is pretty dirty tho

[Anthony]

there is no external leaks of coolant any were that i can see. i tried to take a video of it but the smoke hardly shows up. but when i push harder on the gas more smoke comes out. but if i hold the throttle open the smoke seems to go away

[Anthony]

changed back to stock and seems to have fixed the problem thanks for the help

[Anthony]

i did leave it on long enough to act up but why would it only do it to the one side

[Anthony]

ok so i finally fixed the rough idle well so i though. i changed the oxygen sensor it had a alot of suit on it and was telling the computer it was lean when it really wasnt. changed that and was running good. then a day later i was driving down the road and the motor started to make a noise like the jeep in Eric’s videos. and it started smoking and shutdown. i only drove maybe 20 feet i was slowing down to pull over i had to coast to a side street. tried to start it and nothing just a click. so i called my neighbor and he pulled me home. i contacted the warranty company and explained it and they looked at it and cant seem to find what failed. they put it down as catastrophic failure and now needs a new engine…..again. this engine would have been hitting around 100000 changed my oil every 10k with full synthetic extended life rated for 15000 and i also had a 15000 mile filter also. didnt make sense to me finally had a good idle and it died
