Hello. I own a 2000 Monte and have enjoyed this forum for a long time. I hope no one minds, but this question is about a 1990 Plymouth Acclaim I use to pull my boat. Please see photo. It burns fuel like crazy and there is all this smelly exhaust. I've changed the 02 sensor and the sparkplugs. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you!.......scott

 

what color is the smoke? is it constant or just after start up ?

4cyl? v6? any other issues overheating? going throught oil/antifreeze? missfiring?

 

Hi Art,
How many miles on your Acclaim ? Has it ever been rebuilt ?

Smoke looks like it needs new piston rings ?

Please post more infor & hopefully one of our expert member's can help Good Luck

Hi Bud. It's white or light gray - see photo. It seems to be constant. It's a V-6. I don't recall any other issues such as over heating. I does burn a lot of gas though. Could that mean the engine is running too rich? Thank you!...scott

 

blown head gasket?? just oil getting into your fuel
