Default car smoking white rough idle hesitates big time and wants to die when i get on it.

just pulled the intake manifold off and all the lines to clean it out. installed it back on and now she's smoking white and has a rough idle any clue? smell's very rich and has no power it bogs out when i give it gas in gear.

White smoke would indicate a blown HG, but pulling the IM off will not blow the HG, recheck all the lines to the IM, Sounds like you have plugged something in wrong, [coolent line into vac line].

MM&Y of car and any mods??? 94

It's still going on because your head gasket is still blown... It's coolant being burnt.

I didn't even read your first post, just the title lol. It's the intake manifold gasket, you should have sprayed it with copper gasket spray. Coolant runs through a port in the head to manifold, it is leaking into the intake runners.
