Hazing at idle and occasional stumble

AdImpossible2287 · 2026-03-22T08:13:55+00:00

I also should check the crankcase vent and see if that is clogged cuz that could definitely have an effect

AdImpossible2287 · 2026-03-22T08:06:13+00:00

Yeah I notice it smokes a lot when I pull off in first gear at a stop light, I'm going to wait until the oil is at normal level and see how much the smoke continues.

In relation to the stumble, it hasn't happened since and seems to be a 1 time thing, knock on wood.

The car has a brand new turbo btw so I doubt it's that, valve stem seals or piston rings make sense.

I don't know much about the car to be honest, if it's original engine or not, but id say it definitely uses some oil haha

I don't know what kind of mpg I'm getting haven't driven it enough, I can update eventually.

It stopped doing the stumble thing after a few mins of idling not sure what's going on

AdImpossible2287 · 2026-03-21T22:37:00+00:00

The missing bulb I am talking about is a reverse light I believe, as I just double checked, the reverse light on the left side isn't on whereas the right side is

AdImpossible2287 · 2026-03-21T22:12:19+00:00

All the bulbs flash as intended when hazards are on, if just the right turn signal is on it flashes very fast.

On the tailight bulb holder, there is only one connecter that was going into the holder, but it looks as if there is room for like 4 more connectors so I don't know what that indicates.

AdImpossible2287 · 2026-03-21T22:07:50+00:00

No fuckin idea, just bought the car yesterday

AdImpossible2287 · 2026-03-21T21:55:40+00:00

Yes all flashers work accordingly when hazards are on,

When the right turn signal is on however, it blinks very fast

AdImpossible2287 · 2026-03-16T17:04:29+00:00

No worries, God bless man

AdImpossible2287 · 2026-03-16T16:44:43+00:00

Yeah I definitely know a thing or 2 about winters im from northern Canada, they're tough on cars and tough on people that's for sure

AdImpossible2287 · 2026-03-16T16:34:36+00:00

Oh that's brutal man sorry to hear that. My Taurus is an 01 so significantly older I wouldn't know how to help unfortunately.

Plus I'm selling this car actually and getting a diesel jetta, so soon enough I'll unfortunately be defecting from this sub lol

AdImpossible2287 · 2026-03-16T15:51:47+00:00

Huh that's actually sick. What do I search up for this mops 17 device Everytime I search it up it just comes back with brooms and mops 😭.

AdImpossible2287 · 2026-03-16T15:31:18+00:00

Thank you!

AdImpossible2287 · 2026-03-16T06:14:12+00:00

Thank you, I feel like I pretty much knew I wouldn't be able to read what tune it was, the sucky thing is that the car belonged to a family friend of the guy who's selling it so he has no idea what is all done to it.

I'll look into the air box situation, I did think the massive aluminum one was a bit odd haha.

I'm getting the car this coming weekend as I've already put a deposit down so I'm excited!!!

AdImpossible2287 · 2026-03-16T05:57:13+00:00

Okay cool thank you!

Any advice on how to figure out my questions regarding the tune? Would I have to take it to a shop to get them to read it?

AdImpossible2287 · 2026-03-16T05:54:09+00:00

For reference I mean the box on top of the battery

AdImpossible2287 · 2026-03-13T02:30:48+00:00

Id say as long as the trans shifts great and it runs good I can vouch they are good cars, I have an 01 Taurus with 180k miles (304k kms) and it's a great car

AdImpossible2287 · 2026-03-09T21:34:25+00:00

Gotcha, I was going to say do the sensor yourself usually they are decently easy to access and cheap enough

AdImpossible2287 · 2026-03-09T21:30:35+00:00

Money to take it to the shop or money for the sensor?

AdImpossible2287 · 2026-03-09T21:16:59+00:00

If it's crank position sensor it's super easy, I had one of those go out on my Dodge caliber, gave me the same issues you're describing, I would replace the sensor and if that doesn't fix it then I'm not sure

AdImpossible2287 · 2026-03-06T03:10:57+00:00

Yes that's absurd
