Hi,
Sometimes I get smoke out of my exhaust (blue/white) when I am in stop and go traffic and when I start it up and go in the mornings. I also get a full throttle miss.
1) Low 800s w/ no knock.
2) Smoke is intermittent. It seems to happen most often in stop and go traffic or drive-through situations when the motor gets hot enough or when I start to head out in the morning. Much much more often than not it doesn't smoke.
3) The smoke is constant and embarrassing.
4) Compression is good, 140-155 psi across all cylinders.
5) Leak down is good according to the red-yellow-green leak down tester used.
6) No gas or water in oil.
7) All plugs dry and looking good.
8) Pulls like a raped ape if eased in to full throttle.
9) Misses if stomped (has only been done ~3 times to verify there is a constant, reproducible problem).
It's embarrassing. I think I've narrowed it down to an intake gasket leak or a leaking exhaust/intake valve but I am inexperienced w/ these cars. If anybody has any other suggestions please let me know.
Best,
Ben
