[right][snapback]294446[/snapback][/right] Do you have a gutted cat, if you do that is why, mine does the same thing but once it is started it clears up. When any car is first started it always goes rich since it injects more fuel before intial start up causing an excess in fuel rich exhaust, the cat clears most of that up, also most don't realize that a cat doesn't actually start working properly until it reaches a proper operating temperature explaining why most inspectors allow the car to run for a minute before testing. I couldn't tell you about the greenish tint, maybe your car has a cold, lol. This post has been edited by darksecret: Jun 2, 2005 - 3:31 PM |
