May the lord (or whoever you believe the higher being is...) Show u guys the truth. lol someone label this thread "We have everything backwards and that's okay."

Here's the deal:

Blue smoke == Oil
White smoke == coolant in most cases unless u pissed in the gas tank or something stupid.
Black smoke == Running rich... and if it's smoking... it's not running a little rich... it's running pretty damn rich.

And if you are running rich and detonating, your air/fuel is not the problem here are a few things to check:
1. Check timing
2. Make sure u didn't deck the block or be like me and mill the head .040
3. Go to the gas station and get some 93 octane and a warm cup of joe.

lol thank you for your time and please... please... if u are unsure about what color smoke means what on your car... don't post up what u THINK the problem is cuz u're just adding to the problem.
