horrible gas mileage

I am having problems with my LS swap

. I am sometimes getting blue or white smoke and my gas mileage is just terrible, I have checked my plugs for oil drippings (none) what else can I do?!?!?!

Check your static fuel pressure. Cat could be clogged. Look for CEL codes, they can tell you a lot. Blue or white smoke both arent a good sign either.....

Blue smoke = oil
White smoke = lean mix

Re: horrible gas mileage (JCushing)

the blue can be oil but my mazda had a crack in the block and it burned oil as white...there could be a possiblity(rare...only on **** mazdas) that you stressed your engine (constant high revs) and cracked the block somewhere...thats what i did to my mazda...but then again...its a mazda hehe
