We have a 1997 Nissan Elgrand Homy and it has a problem.
1.) It randomly cuts out or the tacometer jumps up and down as you are driving or idling in the drive way. The engine obviously does the same as the tacometer and rev's. White (and sometimes a darker, almost black) smoke billows out from the exhuast.
If you put the pedal to the metal it usually clears itself after a while and resumes its normal self.
Another mechanic suggested that it was an over fueling problem but couldn't be sure and said that the next time it plays up to bring it in.
Are there any mechanics on this site or do you know of any who can take the fucken thing and diagnose the problem and fix it.
2.) Don't know if it is related, however the front air conditioning randomly comes on as well. Even if it is turned off. I imagine it'd be exspensive to have it looked at as there is front and rear air conditioning that can be controlled by a remote.
