white smoke....smells like fuel.No coolant loss.
My newly purchased FC is now blowing white smoke.It does smoke a little on start up,here's the video
I let it idle for about 15 min then I take it for a ride around the block.and I come home to this.it smells like fuel..I get on my knees and breathe it in(I know,its stupid)
I shut it off after my drive and the tail pipes are still fuming.My tail pipes also have like oil/gas residue at the tip.my oil smells a bit like fuel.
After my drive I let the car sit for a few hrs and its really hard to start...I know it floods and my plugs are fouled. I have to do the deflooding process to get the car to start.
I'm thinking it my be leaking injectors, bad OMP. A few days ago I did have the CEL Code 20 which is OMP positioning sensor.
I was thinking about buying new plugs but I know they will be fouled out too.
Thanks a lot for your guys help so far to get this thing running right.

First thing you should do is change all fluids and spark plugs.
You may have a vacuum leak and or disadjusted tps. Easy fixes. Don't worry about the start up smoke. It all does a little. Depends on oil weight too.
When engine is cold, remove radiator cap and let it idle. If coolant gets pushed out, you have a o-ring failure.
You may just an overly rich mixture or leaking injectors. While you have the UIM removed to check vacuum lines ( at this time you should replace all of them and zip tie it),
see if the injectops are leaking by pulling it out and jumpering the yellow connector at pass. shock tower. (ign on/ not start).

To much fuel smoke is generally black, to much oil is grey and coolant is white (steam) coolant smoke is very white. Sometimes the light grey oil smoke can cause some panic since its not very dark.
