Smells problem
1985 Holden Barina 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual

Hi there,

Everyday in the morning there is a stinky white smoke coming out the exhaust at warming up, its not a lot of white smoke but I can notice it when I'm out standing behind the car, and in the parking lot one of the neighbor had complained about my car is fuming a stinky burning smell which is annoying recently even for me. Car temperature is good, engine runs excellent. Nothing is seems to be wrong. And after it warm up the smells is gone. Weather is cold here in New Zealand. Car Rpm when warming up starts from 3500rpm with a loud engine sound. Most times car fail to start immediately, until I push the gas a little bit. Please let me know what seems to be the issue?

Thanks for you time.

Im in the USA so I m not familiar with Holdens, but I will sure try. Is the smell sweet or like fuel? Does it use a small amount of coolant with no visible leaks? Does it misfire (run rough) when started cold?
