High RPM in Idle, and more

[Zoist]

Hi

I am still working on my 480 ES 1,7 from 1987 after 6 mounts to get it ready and on the road. I need to replase the hole breaking system from my donate car to the other one.

But that not the issue, When I stat up the car, the engine runs at 1600 RPM. the car computer dos not work and there is coming thick with smoke from the exhaust pipe... and it behaves strange when I hit the gas, it is almost going out but then it come up to speed, and that happens even if the engine is hot.

I think I need to say that it currently is missing one flip-flop headlight (they dos not work so I am changing them), no breaks at all, the AC dos not work for some reason, the air fan dos not work, and the car has not bin driven for 2 years before I bought it with a donate car from 1988)

Looking forward to hear form all of you pro's

Thick white smoke coming from the exhaust is a symptom for the headgasket which has blown. Is there a mayonaise looking substance on the underside of the oilfiller cap? Or oil in the coolant? Also look for water in the oil. Pull the dipstick and heat the oil on the dipstick with the flame from a lighter, if the oil hisses and bubbles while heated it''s coming from water in the oil.
And what exactly do you mean with "the car computer does not work"? The car can only run with a working car computer(=ECU)

I think, that he mean about InfoCentre

White smoke from exhaust - check the MAP sensor, it's small black box on the right side of the engine wall. This box is connected with the inlet manifold with using thin black pipe. Check what happens, when you disconnect this pipe when engine is on the low idle. Check this pipe, maybe it's broken?

Well, the oil looks great, not yellow or anything. but i will try the lighter thing later.

and yes, it is the infocenter in the dashboard. it only shows the fuel level in the tank.

I will chek the pipe when I can. can that also be the reason for the engine acts strange when I give it some gas?

Hello

Hmmm.... Smoke from exhaust looks like the water wapor. My car produce a lot of this, even when air temperature is high. Headgasket is ok, so i think that is normal in 18E engine type. What is the smell of exhaust gas? Do you smell unburned petrol? If so, check the throttle position sensor-black box on the right side of throttle. Unplug the connector and check what it happens. I remember, that my car had high revs on idle, when TPS was disconnected.

TPS - marked with the square
