Ok, Im at my wits-end. I'm going to list a bunch of symptoms and things I've already checked. Please help me figure this out?!
Symptoms: -White smoke from exhaust (and leaks a little from EGR connection at the manifold) -Coolant/Oil looks fine, not frothy or chocolate milky (not a head gasket, I think) -Random misfires can be heard when engine is not idleing. -Burning smell from exhaust fumes (not sweet, but kindof like burnt something...) -Black plugs and O2 sensor (running rich) -Horrible gas mileage -Small leak at radiator and upper rad. hose -Small leak at Injector #3 -High Idle that settles from 1100 to 750 rpm after a long warm-up.
Checks/Fixes: *Changed plugs (NGK), O2 sensor, PCV valve *Fixed exhaust leak b/t head and e. manifold (now leaks at EGR... ) *Checked/cleaned coolant temp sensor resistance *Checked ECU pin voltage for air temp sensor (fine), air flow meter (couldnt get a readout... either none or hard to make connection), EGR control solenoid valve voltage (showed "cool" range, maybe bad?), A.A.C. voltage (12.6 V with normal range from 7-10 V)
Oh yeah, and no codes from Mode III on the ECU...
What can anyone suggest I check/fix/etc? I know I need to fix the injector and radiator, but want to make sure that they are the only problems before investing more money in the stupid thing...
Thanks
