This just started n can't figure it out. I have a new fuel pump n filter new cap rotor button wires plugs cold air intake n a adjustable fuel regulator. Now for about a week almost everytime I crank my car it runs like its out of time for a min r 2 unless its already hot then its just like 20 seconds. After that it runs normal again n when it starys to run fine I get a lot of smoke from my exhaust n can smell gas n oil. I know cyclinder 2 rings r bad have oil on my plug but the rest r fine n also the tips of my plugs r a purpleish color I think that means I running lean. I have tried running seafoam through it. It only helped for couple of days n no one can put there finger on what's causing it. Any help would be good. I'm working on getting a new motor but need this one till the other is built

oh mang u pwned dat dood!!! :laugh:


Back to topic, I also suggust checking the oil and seeing if it looks like chocolate milk, if it does its most likely the headgasket, and just about any auto parts store like autozone/checkers etc will do a free leakdown test for u

heykosal shut up. ur an idiot i was at work using a cell phone n wasnt going back to fix any fuck ups. dont be a deuch bag. to the rest i went to my buddys house last night n found that i didnt have any oil on the dipstick about two quarts low. we decided to do a compression test n cylinder 2 n 3 suck there around 90 n then checked my water n there was some of my oil. oh n i know about the oil looking milky i have already checked that but thanks for the input though. so all in all i NEED A NEW MOTOR. also last night was bad for the car. my wiring harness has been going out slowly n now my dash lights r gone some how theres a wire grounding out so i ended up having to cut the power wire to the dash to get home last night with lights. if anyone knows about a parts car thats n decent shape but doesnt run for cheap hit me up im going to start saving some money n get another one. thanks for all the help guys appreciate it.

thats all the symptoms of a blow head-gasket, should be around 300 for a shop to pull the head, send the head to a machine shop, and replace the gasket.
for the wiring, you'll just have to get a test light and poke around. usually when a lot of things don't work its a common ground.

I found a 93 I think that has a over heatting problem n cracked bumper for 600 thinking about getting it n put everything I need n mine. I don't want to do a tranny conversion from auto to stuck when I can just pull a few things out of it n to mine

SORRY for the miss spelled words on my cell again.i have decided not to get it. theres a junk yard a county over that will give me a complete b18a1 a wiring harness fuse block n wheel bearing pressed n spindle for 450. which is perfect for me so i can start building a motor. what is some great parts to put in it for 220 raw horsepower n later be able to hit 400 plus wit turbo. i am going to build this one the way i want not stock fuck stock. thanks for all the input n future input thanks. oh by the way does anyone know if i go 3" exhaust pipe now with out turbo if i will have enough back pressure to still beat those stupid ass srt4 r will it hurt me too bad
