Holy run-on sentence, Batman! Give me a second to decode.

Anyway... Who did your tuning? Do you have a FPR? How long has it been since your injectors have been serviced?? Need more info.

mig82rx7 01-05-12 10:16 PM

no fpr...idk who did the tuning on the car or when the injectors been serviced , but the ecu is hooked up to a hks fuel computer. man the car was running perfect then blah! what should i check first?

dwb87 01-08-12 05:50 AM

Check everything that has anything to do with the fuel system. (Everything from the fuel injectors back to the fuel pump.) Can you post a video or anything??

Compression test. Think Apex seal.

J5sense 01-08-12 10:36 PM

plus one on compression test. white smoke can also mean coolant burning. say your prayers tonight,

mig82rx7 01-10-12 07:00 PM

Well... I changed the plugs , drained the gas and now its back to normal smoked a bit and stoped so I guess its fixed

I'd sue them then..for the cost and labour of draining gas etc..
How the Fark can they mix gas and Diesel??..the delivery guy must have been a real friggin rocket scientist.!

If this is the case... You should have a decent case on your hands. Unless you carelessly pumped your gas.^

I don't doubt that this has happened... But it seems highly unlikely.

Go back to that gas station immediately, get some of that "premium" gas in a can, and do a little testing. You'd think that station would have been confronted ASAP.

i was close then. i didnt think it would be anything serious. not very many people who have these cars drive them around if they arent really that nice... lol and i agree with them. you should go after them. think of what that could have done to your car..
