Smoke on Start up

[Galaxie]

For those of you tuned and stright piped.... are you getting an blue smoke in the AM when its cold out?

With my tune on I am getting a decent amount of blue haze in the AM or when the motor is cold. Really only does it when it is chilly or cold. Does it even more now its stright piped.

Cheers!

If it's blowing a considerable amount of smoke and it goes away after it warms up I would check your FICM voltage. Your FICM could be headed south and if it is and isn't fixed it could decide to take some of your injectors with it.

On a totally different subject, any of those Galaxies have a 7 liter in them?

Not to high jack his thread but mine has puffed a little bit of white smoke on startup clears up after about 10 seconds and the last few days have been into the 40s and it lopes for about a minute after i start it. Is this normal when you have one of IDs extreme street tunes? Or is this like you said one of the precursors for an FICM going bad?

Easy enough! What voltage should I be at and where should I grab a live wire at? Also, it doesnt do it much on my stock tune....

As far as the Galaxies, no. One a a stroker beast and one is a 428, but none origonal R cars.

Usually when the FICM is going bad it will smoke pretty good, gradually going away as the truck warms up. The colder it is the longer it smokes.

Your trucks behavior is fairly common with Eric's Xtreme tune. If you are not running a 5wXX oil I would switch. It will help with the injectors when cold.

Yes, I am running 5/40 T6. It starts fine, no lope or issues, just the blue smoke.

And yes, John tunes a lot of SVT/Mustang stuff, etc. He used to work with Eric. Might be the same tune.

Anymore thoughts anyone? FICM or Tune?

This will explain the procedure. The FICM is on the drivers valve cover below the degas bottle.
Fix UR FICM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The 428 is a 7 liter. Doesn't it have 7 liter badges? I'd love a 63 with the 427 in it, but then wouldn't everybody?
