https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/unsure.gif Dudes I tried turning my car on today. And It wouldn't turn over. Finally after about 15 seconds trying to crank the car. It finally turned over. And nothing but white and black smoke coming out of the tail pipe. and then It turned off after about 20 second running. Someojne told me it could be my apex seals!! Another told me I need to replace the stock computer with a PFC, cause it's bad. Anyone know what it might be? Please help get my baby back on the road....... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif

A little history would be helpful.



A compression check will indicate whether you've broken an apex seal.

Black smoke generally = too much fuel...running rich

White smoke generally = steam.

First thing that comes to mind is the boost sensor. The small black sensor mounted on the firewall near the throttle-body labeled "Sensor Boost" It should have a single vacuum line running to it from the manifold. Make sure it's plugged in at both ends.
