CEL Help & Possible Head Gasket Problem
First off before I put up my problem Im just going to state that this should be in the prelude forum because the car is a prelude, however Im not getting much help there because it's so dead there. I figured alot of people swap h22's and stuff and it's not really anything new to the civic forum. 01 Prelude BTW
Okay so the car has been sitting for a year or so and Im planning to bring it out in 2010 summer, however I just started it up this week and had my CEL lights on.
I jumped the wires and believe the codes are 10(Intake air temperature sensor) and ABS codes 16 & 81(ABS Control Module)...anyone want to confirm it, theres a youtube video below. Just want to know how to fix these, I believe my ABS CPU is fried or something thats why it's throwing code 16 as well.

Possible head gasket issue:
When I rev the car at high rpm theres a little bit of white smoke (not too white) coming from the exhaust not at idle though. Do you think I need a tune up since it's been sitting for almost a year? Also there was a alot of fluid coming from the exhaust. And my friend who was in the car reving it said there was a faint smell of some sort, and she reved it too about 6K, hit vtec (A/C was on btw). Starting to get worried if it's head gasket. Although the oil is fine and it's in the usual color however it's kind of low and everything in the engine bay shows no sign of leaks. Further to that the car feels and drives great and pulls hard. VTEC is good as well. It's been raining all past week you guys think its just condensed water or anything?...just a thought? I checked this all during a hot sunny day btw.
