dunno about the smoking, what does the smoke smell like?

Fuel or oil? I would check oil consumption, but I guess that hard to do

with the car there. What do the plugs look like?



Check the headlight motors and the wiper motor/switch as well, they

dont look right.

it's easy to check your injector if I'm wrong you wasted an hour or two. Just take the upper intake off pull your injectors i wrapped wire around mine to hold them to the rail place them over a container turn the key on and move the air flow sensor to preasurize the fuel rail in five minutes you should get very little fuel in the container. Even if they check ok they should be cleaned and balanced. I hope this is of some help.

also check the oil for gas smell.

See if the lights are plugged in, most times one stops working

and they put both up and unplug the one that was working to begin

with. The wire goes thru the radiator support the plug is right on the engine side of the radiator support.



I guess you will need to unbolt the wipers and line them up properly so

they dont sit so high on the windshield.

The headlight retractor motors have thier own plug,

seperate from the lights themselves, see if those are plugged in.

the test for the rotor oil seals is the start it cold and rev it too 5k rpms and hold it there, if it smokes more than a puff or two, its bad.

it need a wiper switch ($500) and the headlight switch too (also $500). it is white though, and white is a 20b legal color
