Drove the car yesterday morning to jury duty and noticed that there's been some lag when I shifted. Arrived, parked the car and I was there until I finished up around 7 in the evening. After all that time I could finally go home, or so I thought. Engine was bogging hard and I smelt gas. I figured I'd drive it a bit to see if the smell went away but no, saw white smoke coming out of the exhaust, so I pulled into a gas station. After parking it I noticed something leaking on the ground, put my hand on it and took a sniffed it, gas. Problems keep arising and I might have to sell this car :frown:

Start checking fuel lines, fpr, fuel filter and I would pull the fuel rail and check your spray pattern and check for leaks there too. Check fuel pressure too.

sounds like a stuck open injector or a bad injector o ring.

I've heard from someone else who had white smoke because his radiator hose was screwed up somehow and the water/antifreeze was mixing with gas.

The problem so far was bad o rings, replaced 3 of them but the 4th injector seems to be stuck.
