Ruff Idle Car Blowing Smoke What Could Be The Problem

[cuppas]

yeah im thinking boost leak somewhere in the intake as well

so the engine would think that it isnt getting enough air, and will hunt in the rev range until it thinks it has enough

do you know that its oil smoke?

Yeah im sure its oil smoke after the residue it left on my shed floor.

Problem solved. It was my spark plugs being dirty afterall that caused the problem. When i put all the plugs back in and tested the car i still had one of the AFM's unplugged, so today i checked all the cooler piping and replugged the AFM and she is working good as new.

Glad you found it.

For reference, My car leaves a trail of black crap on the floor of the shed from the exhaust, that is because it is running pig rich (untuned) and instead of just coating the rear bar, the particles are heavy enough to just leave a trail from the exhaust tip.
