long road trip this weekend, car ran fine there but on the way back it started sputtering when i gave it gas. it got worse as i drove and when i came to a stop it sputtered really bad in first and second. i put new plugs in, autolites, and i put lucas fuel injection cleaner in. after that the car sputters worse and smoking a little. if anyone has any idea whats up please let me know

 

have you tryed anything??????????? you got a cel? compression test?

 

anything on the spark plug? when you took the plugs out, did you shine a light down there to see if the pistons had anything stupid on them?

 

hey yeah my car does this some times if i am doing a burnout or if it tacks it self out ( free spinning in a way) i turn it off for a minute and turn it back on and all better... i had fixed it i beleave by replacing the bank 1 O2 sensor( manifold)... hasent done it since.

 

yeah i changed the plugs, and put fuel injector cleaner in. i cranked it up and it seemed ok, but i didnt drive it, but when i tried to start it later it took like 5 minutes to get it started. and the rpms were very sporatic, along with smoking out exhaust

 

What color smoke?

 

^^^^what shortstack said?

 

That, grasshopper.... will hold the key to your adversary!

 

ha ha wax on, wax off....lol

 

Headgasket.

 

Lol.

That was my first thought.

 

it was light colored smoke, didnt really have an odor to it

 

...white smoke?

 

yeah i guess you could say it was white, it was dark ouside i just know it was light

 

Do a compression test ASAP.. I'm going to venture and say you won't like the results.

 

I think the guesses from shortstack and slowswap may be right
