TONS of white smoke, exhaust REEKS of gas, FPR?

[lostmenoggin]

Fixed my starter problem. When I fired up the car and let it run for a few, TONS of white smoke was coming out of the exhaust. My jack got covered in residue so I ran my finger across it and it smells like gas. This car had a walbro 255 in it when I got it. Is it possible my FPR has gone bad and is causing too much fuel to be let in the system?

How white is the smoke? A failing turbine CHRA could cause the white smoke or a failing headgasket (Highly doubt it) could be causing it as well. But over-fueling will cause your plugs to foul or can cause some of the smoking issues you're having, but it all depends on how much smoke as well as the caliber of smoke you're speaking of.

I hope it's not the turbo... It worked perfectly when I pulled the motor out of my old car. The smoke is pretty dense and smells strongly of gas. I think it may be my injector o-rings. I did some searching on an sr forum and people who had the same symptoms as I fixed it by replacing the o-rings. I'm gonna give that a shot and check my ecu for codes.

Oh, I forgot to mention I heard a buzzing coming from the fuel rail/intake area.. Maybe an injector got stuck open???

Could be either/or. White smoke sounds like coolant, but an open injector can cause similar problems as well. But you will know it's an injector because you will have a dead cylinder and you will see and smell fuel coming out of your exhaust (not good for the physical engine). I had this problem on one of My Ford Taurus SHO cars and it would produce white-colored smoke constantly and it was annoying. It seemed the problem was coming from the #6 injector staying open, so I changed injectors (not an easy task on this car) and it didn't help. I took it to the ford dealer, had them put it on their machine and those freaks told me it was the #6 injector and it would need to be changed. I told them the injectors were brand new and they said they still would need to be changed.

Now, what are the chances out of 6 brand new injectors, that the same #6 injectors is still stuck open? Bottom line is, that chance is one in gazillion and those guys thought I was some rookie trying to get his car to just run right. So after the process of elimination, I got a new ecu for $50 buck and "Voila" problem solved. Hope this story helped somewhat. Keep us posted on this as well.

Well, checked my ecu and it gave me code 55. I'm going to go to the parts store to try and get some o-rings but I can't seem to find which ones I should get. SOHC KA injector o-rings? What o-rings do I use? Do I also need to replace the insulators?

Well I am an official MORON. I connected the wrong plug to one of my injectors. I removed the IAA unit and was about to remove my fuel rail when I saw my error. The car acts a lot better now. I'm going to the parts store to get some new plugs and a fresh oil change since I ruined the brand new oil that was already in it

I'll keep you all posted if anything bad is still going on.
