    1987 Honda Accord~Its Smoking You
    Ok so I had my radiator flushed and a new radiator cap and hoses put on this past week on my 1987 Accord

    This morning I drove to work in it and when I put it in park it idled VERY high up to 2000 rpm's

    I seen smoke coming out of my defroster vents and when I popped the hood there was a hose spraying something all over my engine making it smoke and it looked like the PGM-FI (program fuel injection? ) was smoking

    I don't know what to do because the car is not registering hot on the gauge

    Im a single mother so I don't know what to do with the car and I know a shop will be expensive, can anyone give me some advice on what it may be? :confused: :eek:

    OH SO CONFUSED LOL

    It's possible a hose clamp may have not been properly secured during the previous service.

    The "smoke" you saw may nave been steam from hot coolant escaping.

    Let the system cool of before further inspection. Then take another look to see if the coolant reservoir level has dropped...

    Let us know.
