Alright my car is blowing out so much smoke, and it smells like alot of fuel. Any suggestions on what it could be???

 

Running too rich? O2 Sensor? I'm just guessing really.

Maybe this bump will help.

 

does it use oil?
any codes flashing?

 

What do you mean does my car use oil. No, no codes flashing

 

What color is the smoke?? Depending on what color the smoke is will determine what is burning. White, black, blueish purple.

 

Its white, but it doesnt smell like oil. Smells like fuel, or maybe its too cold and my senses are f'ed up. But I highly doubt it.

 

possible water in the intake manifold? gasket may need to be replaced?

 

water in the intake mani could possible be it, If it is why would it smell like fuel, and alot of smoke come out? Also isnt that really really bad if that happened.

 

does it smell sweet?

 

Like fletcher said, it could be running rich too, if thats the problem how is it fixed?

 

if your running rich it would be black...

 

ok nevermind then I guess its not running rich... haha I only knew white smoke was oil. Ok My car is blowing out white smoke, any other possibilities?

 

im running no cat and i have black smokes!..don't know why!

 

when you burn oil it is blue...if it is white that's coolant...

the water turns to moisture, white smoke. the fuel doesn't all get burned because of the moisture in the cylinder, gas smell. if the intake manifold gasket goes bad, that's not so bad. hope your head isn't warped, that's bad. are you leaking any water? did you drive the car hot anytime?
