Yesterday I put gas in the car and went out to watch a few races. After about an hour I noiced my car was starting to smoke (Not from racing) checked what I could found no problems but my a/f's are all off. Going to the shop tomorrow to try and figure it out but has anybody had any problems with that bs ethanol gas. The gas station has 10% ethanol. My motor is high comp but I wanted some advice on if it will cause this problem. I was told today it would but not sure.. I could also use a new thermostat and its not getting to full operating temp could that cause the problem. It just started gettin pretty cold here

 

Fixed the problem. Car runs great now.

 

Good to hear... What was the problem ?

 

Gas was **** to be honest and somehow my fuel pressure was turned down from 42 to like 25-30. My a/f went nuts.. I origanally thought it was running rich but it was just burning a lot of oil and it was leaning out when I crossed vtec. Wish I knew who did it or how my fuel pressure got that low.. But its all good now

Note to self: Ethanol gas blows a big one
