HEY PEOPLE, I JUST PURCHASED A 1992 PRELUDE AND SMOKE COMES OUT OF THE ENGINE MEANWHILE THERES NO OIL LEAK. THE CAR'S IDLING IS INCONSISTENT AND ANYTIME I MAKE A SHARP LEFT TURN, THERE'S A CRACKING NOISE THAT COMES FROM UNDER THE CAR. FINALLY WHEN I PUSH THE GAS PADEL, IT TAKES A FEW SECONDS BEFORE THE CAR RESPONDS. HELP PLEASE THX EDDY

Hi Eddy,

Which part of the engine is the smoke coming from?

The crocking noise while turning is most probably due to a bad CV RH joint.

Inconsistent idling and hesitation could be due to sparkplugs, wires, distributor or engine mechanicaals such as ignition timing and compression.

Check the throttle body and IAC for air passage clogging.
