besides being a dx and having no vtech, my car has another issue.:doh: when i first start it up in the morning its fine, and when i'm driving its fine. here is where the issue starts. when i come to a stop light or something it starts belowing out white smoke. i thought it would be the head gasket, but its not. the smoke smelled like burnt fuel and it was skipping like a whore. i thought it might have fouled out a plug or something so i replace that and the wire. btw, the plug that wasnt getting fire was the number 1 cylinder. it was getting a little but not enough to run right. i did a full tune up on the car not 5 months ago. you know, cap, rotor, spark plugs, wires, fuel filter, and what not. i have no freakin clue what could cause this. :screwy: some clues would be much appreciated. thanks!:cheers:
