Wasnt sure if this is completely spi related thats why its here

92 spi
rover cooper


I went for a 15min drive today got back home and urm kept the engine running, opened the bonnet took the air filter casing off so i could see into the throttle body (obviously) i reved it a few times "for my own resons just checking for sounds"

Turned the ignition off went back under the bonnet to open up the throttle body all the way "if you know what i mean".

Then a small puff of faint smoke came out the throttle body...it was faint. not alot just abit.

Just curious if thats normal?

Thank you

i don't really know what it consists of; i'd imagine fuel. both the spi's in our club have k&n's on them; if you take the filter off and rev a bit and let off you'll get a white vapour. but i know its nothing to worry about. only worry when it's coming out with the filter on, then you're over fueling badly.
