Some water (not coolant) coming out of the tailpipe is normal condesation. Does the exhaust smell like coolant? Is the car losing coolant? How's the oil level? Are the fuel lines in good order? Not knowing what is burning, I would suggest having it towed to a shop.

Re: Need help with a 92' please

well the car already has an over heating problem and has had one for a while, it seems to me this is a bunch of small problems wrapped into one, the fluid coming out tail pipe is water, just water not really a funny smell but it does smell like car because the water went through the car before it came out the back. The revving is causing the engine to heat up extremely fast which is causing the smoke to come out faster the oil is fine not watery or milky, i think the smoke maybe an oil ring bad or something to do with oil since it is white yet until i sprayed the car out with a hose( i know bad, but when the car first caught on fire we used a fire extenguisher to put it out and had to get the stuff out somehow) and only had the over heating and over revving problem until when i cleaned out the fuel injector body and adjusting the throttle screwto try to make the revving stop

Re: Need help with a 92' please

What caused the fire? Did you fix what caused the fire? If you have a leaking fuel line the car may catch fire again. Fuel dripping onto a hot manifold will burn. How's the coolant level?

I don't know what you mean by "and other than being a little wore looking the fuel lines look fine". Could you please clarify?
