Three weeks ago I wrecked my Integra by rear-ending someone. The front of my car got owned to the point that the core support needs to be replaced. Today I started the car up for only the second time since the accident and drive it around (my yard) for the first time. I noticed a couple things.

1) There is now a white tint to the exhaust smoke. B18B1, Comptech I/H/C/E, Stock internals. Didn't happen before. It is about as thick as exhaust is on a cold day, for those of you that know what I'm talking about. Not billowing white smoke, but a moderate amount of tint to the exhaust. When revved, gets better (ie, less smoke) if anything.

2) Several times I smelled gas, but I couldn't smell it all the time.

Here's a pic of what happened:



What's wrong here guys?

The white smoke may be excessive condensation from sitting longer than usual. I don't know about the fuel smell, but if you haven't really warmed it up, you may be experiencing warm-up richness and a catalyst that isn't up to temp.

Does this mean you get to drive the Porsche?

 

yeah id have to agree it's prob just needs to get up to temp for the cat to do its thing.
