Tail pipe sucks in at times, sucks in a dollar bill

seems like a small miss and sucks in dollar bill at tailpipe

My car has 150000 miles.
My car has a manual transmission.

Experienced mechanics share their insights in answering this question :
If you have an engine that is running rough and misfiring and the exhaust is sucking in sometimes then you may have an exhaust valve that is sticking open. You should have a compression test to the motor. The valves may be sticking open causing the cylinder to suck in from the exhaust rather than through the intake manifold. A compression test will isolate the bad valves in the motor.

By placing the bill on the exhaust tip, the bill will rattle. The noise will be very noticeable. Please note, in order for this test to work correctly, you need to have a good exhaust system (without leaks). The bill also has to have a good fit over the exhaust tip.
If you see liquid dripping out of the tailpipe, don`t panic. It normal and harmless condensation of water vapor This is caused by the exhaust system getting really hot, then cooling down, which causes moisture to collect, or condense, in the muffler and pipes. It then manages to flow and drip out the tailpipe.
You can learn how to tell if a $100 bill is real by additional security features. In addition to the standard security features, the $100 bill has a 3D security ribbon woven into the paper. There are bells in the ribbon that move as you move the bill. The $100 bill also has a color-shifting bell in the orange inkwell.
In genuine currency, both the watermark image and the portrait are the same person AND are facing in the same direction. The counterfeit $100s are facing opposite directions and are different images. The counterfeit $100 bills have the watermark of Hamilton when it should be Franklin.
This is usually brought on by low fuel octane, oil contamination in the air/fuel charge, or excessive boost or nitrous injection in high-performance engines. It can also be caused by poorly performed repairs, a clogged injector, clogged fuel filter, or a marginally failing fuel pump.
Like its smaller cousin, the $500 bill, the $1,000 bill was discontinued in 1969.4 And like the $500 bill, the $1,000 bill would seem to have a lot more use now than it did then.
On July 14, 1969, the Department of the Treasury and the Federal Reserve System announced that currency notes in denominations of $500, $1,000, $5,000, and $10,000 would be discontinued immediately due to lack of use. Although they were issued until 1969, they were last printed in 1945.
Produced in 1918, $500 bill`s front bears the likeness of John Marshall, who served as the United States` fourth Chief Justice of the Supreme Court from 1801 to 1835. The reverse side of the bill depicts Spanish conquistador Hernando De Soto discovering the Mississippi in 1541.
The first use of Thomas Jefferson`s portrait on $2 notes was on Series 1869 United States Notes.
According to the United States Department of Treasury, an estimated $70 million in counterfeit bills are in circulation, or approximately one counterfeit note for every 10,000 in genuine currency.
Over time if it is rusted inside or becomes damaged, the engine will suffer from a loss of gas mileage, loss of power, and extra strain. You may be okay driving the vehicle for now, but the condition will not improve, and will only worsen. The issue will need to be fixed or resolved eventually.
Loud, roaring noises coming from your muffler is a sure sign that your muffler may need to be replaced. When your muffler starts to make loud noises, this usually means that there is either a hole in it or it`s suffered some other form of damage.
The most likely problem that will occur with your exhaust system is the parts getting rusty. Due to the metals that exhausts are made from – especially the exhaust pipe and silencer – and the proximity to wet and gritty ground, rust is still a common problem in this area of the vehicle.
Sign #2: You Can See (And Smell) Engine Exhaust

So if you see anything that looks like smoke, it could be a sign that the oil is old (if it`s not a sign of a major mechanical fault like a cracked head gasket). Ditto for if you can smell any hint of burning oil in your exhaust.

Neuman and read: “This is not legal tender—nor will a tenderizer help it.” Mad writer Frank Jacobs said that the magazine ran afoul of the US Secret Service because the $3 bill was accepted by change machines at casinos. The United States has never issued a million dollar bill.
Can You Get a 500 Dollar Bill from the Bank? Since the bill stopped rolling off the BEP`s presses in 1945 and got yanked from circulation 50 years ago, your bank`s ATM won`t be spitting out any $500 bills these days, nor will your neighborhood teller give you this rare paper currency.
Read more here. Keep in mind that the U.S. has never produced a $200 bill. Also – living presidents are never depicted on currency.
The $5 FRN does not have color-shifting ink. Security Thread All genuine FRNs, except the $1 and $2, have a clear thread embedded vertically in the paper. The thread is inscribed with the denomination of the note and is visible only when held to light.
The United States no longer issues bills in larger denominations, such as $500, $1,000, $5,000, and $10,000 bills. But they are still legal tender and may still be in circulation.
$5,000: James Madison, fourth president, helped write Federalist Papers. $10,000: Salmon P. Chase, not a president, Lincoln`s Secretary of the Treasury. $100,000: Woodrow Wilson, 28th president, served during WWI.
The £100 note is currently the largest denomination of banknote issued by The Royal Bank of Scotland. The current Ilay series of banknotes was first issued in 1987. These banknotes feature a portrait of Lord Ilay, first governor of the bank, on the front. Lord Ilay`s image is also used as a watermark on the notes.
Experts estimate that at least 150,000 of these notes still exist today.
It is also the likeness that was used on the first one dollar bill printed in 1862 and the $10,000 bill in 1918. In 1861, Salmon P. Chase resigned from the Senate to become President Abraham Lincoln`s Treasury Secretary. In his new position, Chase was faced with the formidable challenge of financing the Civil War.

Periodic smoke from tail pipe, on start up. not every time
ANSWER : If you have a small amount of white smoke out of your tailpipe in the morning is normal condensation that is being burned off from inside your muffler. You would only have to worry if you notice your coolant getting low, oil consumption excessive beyond 1 quart per 1000 miles, or you are using excessive amounts of fuel. If you are not having any of these problems then it is normal condensation burning off.

If you’d like a second opinion, feel free to contact a certified technician, like one from YourMechanic, to come diagnose the smoke firsthand and suggest a fix from there.

At times my jeep will start fine and at times I have a hard time getting it to start. It seems like the wireless ignition node is
ANSWER : The recommended diagnostic to resolve this is a hard starting diagnostic. The work is performed by a certified mechanic right at your location. Among the first things the mechanic will check is whether required maintenance is up to date because old spark plugs, clogged fuel and air filters, and the like are potential causes of the hard starting you are describing. Other possible causes include a failing coolant temperature sensor, or bad connection to the sensor, problems with other sensors such as the cam and crankshaft position sensors, a defective fuel pump, and many other causes, all of which will be familiar to YourMechanic’s experts. With regard to the fuel pump, if the engine is not getting enough fuel it will be hard to start. If you request a hard starting diagnostic, YourMechanic will get this issue diagnosed and resolved for you.

Timing chain positioning
ANSWER : This system is a bit complex. I can give you some instructions, but I highly recommend getting a hold of a repair manual or purchasing a yearly subscription for just your vehicle from AllData. It is only $25 for a years subscription from AllData.

There are two separate sets of marks on this system. One set is for aligning the timing chain to the camshaft gears and the intermediate shaft gear. There will be marks on the chain that raps around the crankshaft gear as well. These marks will not line up after you turn the motor over.The other marks are on the inside of the camshaft gears and align with the cylinder head parting line. If you were to draw a ling through the center of both camshaft gears, they should line up with that imaginary line.

The crankshaft key way should be aligned with the mating face of the main bearing cap. You can confirm it is in the correct position by verifying the number one piston is at top dead center. If you have removed the balance shaft timing chain, these marks really need a visual diagram to understand where they should be aligned. Without a diagram I am not very confident it can be explained very clearly.

This may be difficult to to follow, so again I highly recommend purchasing a repair manual in digital form or a book. If you feel this is over your head, I recommend the following inspection to help you out. Timing chain replacement

Good luck! I hope I was able to help you.

need a way to retain the timing chain
ANSWER : The best way to approach this unfortunately is by using a timing chain tool retainer/holder tool. You may consider having an expert from YourMechanic come to your home replace the timing chain.

Switched to synthetic high mileage (5w-30) for the first time and have noticed power loss and faint smoke coming out of tail pipe?
ANSWER : Hi, thanks for writing in. The smoke coming from the tail pipe is not from the oil you are using. The fuel pressure and computer should be checked to see if there is a fuel pressure or computer problem. You may have a loose air filter housing between the MAF and the throttle body. If you would like further help, consider having an expert automotive technician from YourMechanic come to your home or office to inspect this loss of power in the car for you, and make or suggest any repairs as needed.

1992 Acura Legend, when the timing belt goes, is it common for the valves to bend?
ANSWER : If the timing belt break off, the engine’s pistons will hit the valves as the pistons are moving. The engine is an interference engine and can cause damage to the internals of the engine. The last time the belt came off, the engine may have been running at an idle or not under power. It is possible for the valves to be bent. What I recommend doing is performing a leak down test on the engine with a timing belt on the engine and properly timed to determine if the valves were in fact bent. If all of the cylinders have a 80 percent hold and not leaking, then the engine is fine. If there is a mass leak on a cylinder, then the piston did some internal damage. I recommend seeking out a professional, such as one from Your Mechanic, to help you check your engine’s valve train with a leak down tester.

My car twice out of 4 times today would not start on the first time. Second time started fine. At 2 read lights it was sort of je
ANSWER : Hello, thank you for writing in. Your symptoms point towards an issue with fuel or spark. If you just had work done on the fuel system, you may wan to have your fuel pressure tested at the engine. This will let you know that the lines, filter, and pump are all working correctly. You should also have the ignition system tested. This would mean inspecting the spark plugs to make sure they are in good condition, and making sure the plugs are receiving spark. Testing for spark is best done with a simple spark tester that is inserted into the plug’s wire. If having trouble starting, turn the key to the "On" position before starting, and let it sit. This give the fuel pump a moment to prime. If you do not hear the faint buzzing of the fuel pump priming (you may have to listen closer to the fuel tank), then you may be having issues with the pump. Only further testing will tell. For more help with testing and repairs, contact our service department to schedule an appointment.
