Lately my car has started to emit some white smoke. It smells of unburned fuel and if i get too close my eyes start to burn. Ive heard white smoke means rebuild, is that true or it can be some other problem as well? plz helppp!

check to see if the water level is going down ( being sucked in and burned ) a fuel smell with out water loss is not a rebuild.Do you smell antifreeze . To much fuel will smoke black , water smoke is white. water smoke is rebuild time.

morning? After driving and the engine is still warm?
How long does it smoke for? How long has it been happening for?

How do i check if the cooolant level is going low?

look in the coolant fill tank. also, the filler neck located near the air pump area should be topped off as well.

Yes in the morning and also when the car is warmed up. The smoke doesnt come out when the car is idling, only comes out when i press the accelerator while in neutral. This has been happening since the past 2 days. Before my car use to emit slight black smoke and eyes use to burn even if you stand near the close to the exhaust but now its not that heavy. Although the smoke doesnt smell of coolant it still smells of unburned fuel and eyes start to burn if i get too close(but again how does a coolant smoke smell?)

Faisalk,
It use to be black now its white? If I got you right...
Just wait it out for a few more days. Then we will see if
you have a problem, you said it has only happened for 2 days right?

What about when you start it in the afternoon?

Ya before it was black but now slightly white. I tried smelling it but it doesnt smell of coolant, it smells of unburned fuel and my eyes start to burn if i get too close. Also how do i check if coolant level is going low? I dont even know if the Jspec Fd has a coolant light or not? does it Canman?

Faisalk, Yep it has a light, right on the coolant gauge with a really loud annoying buzzer.

I wouldnt really worry about it bro, I would wait and after a week if its still doing it, we can talk more. I have had like 3-5 days of white/black/blue smoke and then they just go away never are to be seen again

I have an intake and cat back exhaust. I bought this car used and ever since it shows me a boost of 13 psi on the boost gauge(you know i did that 35 mph boost check trick) so i was wondering if the ecu is also changed coz ive heard stock ecu cuts fuel at 11 psi or so. I checked the ecu but it looks stock(no aftermarket stickers nothing) I cant even see any manual boost controller(I dont even know where they are suppose to be located) sorry but im new to FD's.
