Car Accelerator Issues
STICKING ACCELERATOR hello I have a 456 mgta, regular service, 20k mileage, had an issue with a sticking accelerator, wrench greased/oiled the cable from what I understand, seems to be ok now, although if you push your hand on the accelerator pedal there is still about two inches of play but the problem is after I start the car, white smoke/condensation which passes fairly quickly, then the blue smoke from both exhaust worse on right side, pretty excessive oil consumption as well, I must admit mostly in town driving my fault, both ck engine lights on now but let is sit at idle for about five minutes before shutdown and no smoke, so, leakdown test/compression issue, or valve guides, perhaps pcv valve? thanks, It's possible that the PCV alve could be causing high oil consumption and smoke but not likely. You can replace it if it's in question and see if anything changes.Valve seal/guide issues will definitely cause oil consumption and can cause smoke but not usually...
