putt, putt, putt, wtf?
87' turbo II.
so i started my car up to go drive around for a bit last night but i noticed my clutch pedal was a little too close to the ground and i was going to fix it. so i turn around at the end of my street, pull back into my driveway and when i come back out of the garage with the wrenches i notice that my car isn't purring like it usually does but instead is putting like a f-ing lawnmower. also it's idling at about 500. whenever i step on the gas it stumbles for a second then revs up very slowly maintaining the puutt putt puttputtputputpu and a lot of white smoke comes out which smells like gas. i think it may be a leaky injector since i did just get some used ones put in about 6000 miles ago. if anyone has had any experience with this sort of thing please chime in.
thanks

I think it definitely wouldn't hurt to check those injectors...and might as well do what NoDOHC said and check the ignition timing. My old NA did that with a vac leak, but I'm not sure if it is your problem as well. I had to put on new gaskets on my engine, and that sucked ***.
