bigjayzway Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Well I got home today and the wife tells me she thinks the car was on fire?????? Her Father came over and said he saw the smoke coming out near the catylitic converter. I instantly checked the codes, and got the P0201, and P0300. I know it is for the Injector One control circuit, and the P0300 is for the missfire. Why would the smoke come out? Any input would be good. Thanks guys.... Big Jay Life is too short to grow up!

Bruce Nunnally Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 hmm; smoke smell like a) burning oil coolant c) plastic/wiring insulation? Bruce 2023 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing Follow me on: Twitter Instagram Youtube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinW Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 A misfire may result in excessive oxygen and/or fuel in the exhaust, leading to abnormally high exhaust temperatures. The visible smoke is likely from combustion of contamination (oil, dirt, etc.) on or near the exhaust system. ___________________________________________________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigjayzway Posted August 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 Sorry it took so long to get back to you guys. I got the car back from the dealership. They say the toal damage was $1200.00. The one thing that peeves me, is the insurance didn't cover the hood liner the vermant ate! They say I need to prove the hood liner was not ripped prior to this incident.....even though there was a huge nest made out of it!!!??? darn insurance! How do you prove this?? Anyway, the car is runnig good again. Cheers to all! Big Jay Life is too short to grow up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how you'd go about proving that the muskrat destroyed your hood liner.....maybe if you had an old picture or something. I don't think we have a bad varmint problem around here, but a few digital pictures would probably be a good idea! haha I hope it works out for ya.
