yes i searched.
i tryed to use the fuel cut and it did squat it still smoked but it smells like gas, it only does it on start up after sitting a few hours. and it smokes for 5-7 minutes and shoots out a massive cloud that will cover half the car. it just started doing it 3 days ago too. i dont know what the deal is, any ideas? 100 K on the engine and it passed the tests when i got it.
what do you guys think?

I THINK one of your coolant seals took a crap... it smells like gas because the coolant is cause the fuel not to burn completely
I bet if you get a trained beak to sniff it, it also smells like hot antifreeze

no id know that, thats what my old engine did, this ones not losing coolant. its definatly gas, and i have a fuel cut switch and used it before i killed the car and it still did it, but i did it again today and it didnt smoke much at all. btw it was warmer out today if that makes a diff.

IF and ONLY if you're sure it's not coolant seals, it sounds like injectors to me. My water seals are shot and I won't get an add coolant buzzer for a good month (they're not that bad off). It also won't smoke after just a few hours though. If you want to be SURE on your coolant seals (ever) just shell out a couple bucks and get your hands on a coolant system pressure tester.
