ok, now to demonstrate just how badly this thing is smoking... this is at "idle" which is ~100-200 rpms.... sigh...

When I watched the video it looked like the smoke had a blue tinge (wtf, where did that word come from?) to it, like oil smoke. However, it didn't seem to hang in the air the same and not as thick as I'd expect.

...just thought I'd comment, wish I could actually give advice or help or some such thing.

edit: I apologize in advance 'cause this is completely off topic but one of the related clips I decided to check out was a 2dr. version of my car being smashed by an SUV. WOW, I knew my car wasn't safe but actually seeing what would happen... the unadulterated horror of it... what's worse is in my area there are LOTS of less than stellar drivers behind the wheels of truly massive pickups and SUVs. :feelslikeapieceofchinainfrontofabull:

 

ok, i just read throgh your thread and if the only thing u changed with the fuel tank then this is very odd, but heres some things to take into concideration.

If your fuel tank had any kinda leak in it, that changes your overall system fuel pressure, with will throw off your tune slightly.

If you have fuel, If you have spark, there are only two other things needed to make an engine run. They are Compression & Timming. You need to do a compression check to make sure that your smoke isn't because of bad rings / ring lands / ect.

I'd also check the timing while your at it, i know u didn't change anything but it's worth checking.

Then, apparently you don't have a wideband in the car or you would know what the fuel problem is if there is one. So what i'm going to have to say is, get your tuner to take a look at the car very soon, don't attempt to drive it like that.

 

yeah for sure, i havent driven it more than 10 feet, its too embarrassing to drive anyway

true, it would change the overall fuel pressure, but the injectors shouldnt be squirting fuel in any more than the fpr allows them to regardless of how much pressure is getting to the rail (this is my understanding of what the fpr does) thus, even if the pressure increased (which apparently it didnt, because im getting 38psi at the filter gauge which is spec) it should still be injecting the same amount of fuel into the cylinder.

anyway, im going to try the banjo bolt from my other civic, if that doesnt fix it ill check the comp as you suggested, im tempted to get another o2 harness and gauge just to see whats going on with this thing, is there any easy way to get a quick a/f reading?

btw... no CEL at all

 

100% wrong, explaining this will take me an hour on the computer.. ask your tuner, they will explaine.
