1991 Sentra Smokes and Dies

[vegashunter]

I have a 1991 Sentra with a 1.6. The car just up and died when I pulled in the driveway after about a 25 mile drive. Would start and die and smoke a lot. White smoke, but does not smell of coolant. We have an old Nissan dealer in town that doesn't sell them anymore but has the service manuals. So, a tech from there and I dug into it and found it had a code in the ECM for a bad Crank Angle Sensor. Bought a new distributor and it ran a little better. Seen somewhere to clean that valve on the passenger side of the intake. Took it off and it was dirty as all get out. Cleaned it and it would not start. Pulled a plug and they were fouled out and you could see gas on top of the piston. Let it set overnight and bought new NGK plugs for it. Popped them in and it started right up. But it still smokes white and if I let it idle it will stumble and die. Has good fuel pressure(43psi) and it will climb a little when you rev it up. This car has about 162000 miles on it. Doesn't use any oil and was running great till this crap happened. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Could the smoke be coolant? IS it thowing any more codes? Sounds kinda odd, but gl. Oh yeha, and welcome to NICO!

No it's not coolant. The only code was for the crank angle sensor. And the check engine light doesn't even come on. Thanks
