well since no one is replying might as well give it a try.

How's your compression? when you say you changed the distributer, did you change the rotor and cap?

White smoke is not cool, check the comp. Is there any oil in your radiator or resivoir? Sounds like a possable bad head gasket.

you have an ls? the compession isnt that bad, but also isnt that good. How much smoke is coming outta the tail pipe? or where is the smoke coming from?

looks like a possible small damage on the headgasket towards 3 and 4, but not bad, how's your coolant, oil?

if it smells like gas, check your fuel system right away, for any leaks, check the injector seals also.

White smoke may be from bad head gasket.

ok the car is still idling pretty rough and i noticed gas coming from the
exhaust manifold. i looked at the injectors and noticed one was staying on
which i think that might be the problem if anyone has any other suggestions
let me know thanks.
