lots of smoke...

[91civichatch2571]

Lately my car has been smoking a lot. I mean theres a bunch of smoke (I think just white) coming out of the exhaust, sometimes it pours out. Also, my spark plugs are all white and crusty. Their relatively new (within a year) and are pretty worn down already. Another problem ive been having is that its been going through oil like crazy. Any ideas whats goin on with it? I dont really care cuz I have a ZC going in real soon but im just really curious. Thanks

head gasket, white smoke is water being burned, oil consumption is sign #2. Plugs are going bad because water is being burned along with oil and a year is actually a good replacement time for plugs. Sorry to break the news.

if your plugs are white you could be running rich check you fuel regulator and vac to it

If plugs are white it means he is running lean, rich=black. You musta got it confused.

just to set you straight, white plugs mean that you're running lean

black plugs would indicate a rich burn.
