Hi there guys, ive been having issues with 09 Kia Sportage... I know this is probably not exactly the best forum for this, but i have to ask.
While cold there is nasty smoke coming out of the exhaust (white-ish/gray-ish) and it likes to stutter or judder a bit on idle sometimes and in some rpms. As soon as it warms up the smoke is almost gone, car drives with no issues whatsoever.
- So... so far ive did a leak back test on injectors since my old Delphi nor my scanmatik shows anything about injectors. The leak back test came out pretty good (no noticeable differences between injectors or a lot of fuel being thrown back). Blocked off egr - no difference (!wasnt mapped out tho!), checked map readings - they seem completely fine compared to what is requested / in boost maps, car makes power, is not in limp mode.
- Coolant is ok, oil is ok, they are not mixing either. Im leaning towards a stuck open injector or something like that, since the smoke from the exhaust has a really strong odor of unburned diesel.
Is there any way i could check a stuck open injector without actually taking them out and sending them somewhere to be tested, is it likely that it is a stuck open injector/injectors? Any help, opinion or suggestion is very appreciated! Im slowly but surely losing my mind over this korean sh*tbox.
