i'm very new to cars in general especially zs so sorry if i sound like an idiot just trying to see where i should start and where i should go i have a few friends who will be helping me do the work who are more experienced
First off sorry about formatting its a pain. ill start from the begining to give as much info as possible. i bought my z a little while back but havent driven it much as i bought it knowing it had problems to fix first. when i first got it it idled really low and would sputter until it shut off if you didnt give it any gas. i opened the iacv and cleaned its connector and replaced the battery(old one was s***) and it seems to have fixed that problem. also it has a lot white smoke that poors out when it idles and while driving it smells like fuel and when i rev the engine some fuel shoots out with the smoke. im also only getting maybe 100-150 miles to the tank. and lastly im only getting about 5-6 psi of boost. ill just list what else i can think of
-runs fine other than smoke and low psi and using a s*** ton of fuel
-no smoke in the engine bay
-i have not done a vac leak test yet i will do one when i return home in a few weeks
-do not know about any codes ive been gone since shortly after i bought it
-previous owner installed 550cc injectors, an upgraded ashspec ecu, smi, hicas deletion, hi flow exhaust, and i dont know if it matters but theres a plug on the transmission thats gone (last one going from front to back)
-previous owner also had a boost controller and tune done he took the controller out and took the chips off the ecu then gave me the chips
