vertcrazy · 08-21-2003, 09:41 PM

ok i have white/gray/black smoke and yellowish kinda rusty water color junk coming from my tail pipes and it smells really rich so i pulled the plugs they are all clean on the driver side but the pass side the # 2 plug was wet smelled like gas and the others looked a little rich any ideas could it be the injector hanging open would that make it smoke or is it a head gasket it really does not smell like coolant though and the oil is clean and i haven't lost any coolant o and it had a really bad miss and help or ideas i have to fix this thing fast i have to drive two hours to school on sunday and this all start after i changed the injectors form 19# to 24# because a had code 41 and 91 but it di not fix it so i put back in the 19# and than it started

Is the car running bad???
What does the #2 plug look like strap/electrode?

The best thing to do at this point is to replace the injector for #2 if that one had gas all over it. Otherwise put the 24's back in.
maybe its pouring so much gas into that cylinder that the gas is making its way to the end of the pipes still in liquid form! lol, smell the liquid comming out of there! not too much though

try and be more specific on the color of the smoke too, all those colors could be anything! good luck.

Check your ignition system before you replace the injectors (cap, wires, plug(s)), it could just be a bad wire or spark plug. Also, you probably already know this but since you didn't mention it I will, you need to relace the stock MAF with one calibrated for the injectors you are using, and in the case of 24# injectors, a computer from a Cobra can be used as well.
