<![CDATA[Car smokes....]]>So, on my way home my car started smoking...not like some little oil burning but like big trail of smoke...kinda made some backfires, and was really doggy acceleratoin (kinda normal though). I pulled over and everything seemed fine. I drove it the rest of the way back home (fergus), it would only do it when it was over 3000rpms. I got home wasnt low on any oil, no antifreeze in the oil, didnt leak any antifreeze, and didnt overheat. I'm so lost at what it could be...

Just like 90% of cars on the road are better than your Limited Edition CRX Bondo. I say Limited because it looks like your passenger quarter is gonna slide off. Then the rest of the car will fall apart piece by piece.

I don't think it was...had 4 quarts in it...and shot a bit out trying to start it, just cause I was missing a valve cover stud at that time...

Kinda off hand but while I was working on it some other cool projects were going down in the shop I was at. Josh went from T's old hatch running to taking the D series out and swapping a gsr into it in 4 hours and had it running. And our other friend just finished up his solid axle Toyota crawling truck. Got a trail ride with that...steep enough inclines where tires were coming off the ground and practically sideways at points...

I have seen that happen with as little as 1 cup over full on a 4 cylinder running over 3-3.5k rpms.

I put different injectors in that I knew worked, as they were off my LS motor. I went through a tank of gas from fargo to fergus and to elbow lake and back from fergus, probably 150 miles tops. Roughly a little more than 20 or so mpg...Idk if it could be my ecu is fucked up or what. It used to act like this when it used to be in, but it didnt have the smoking. My compression when I tested it ended up being 180 170 155 160...probably not the best, but it should be enough where that isnt the problem. And Hjermstad, i'm kicking myself everyday for going back to D series, lol....I miss my torque. So far I havent burned any oil or coolant, and There's no coolant going into the oil at all. I think it's just running very rich and can't figure out why or how to fix it...

headgasket yo.. low on coolant at all? just buy a D and you wont have these problems 😄

Not low on coolant at all, and there's not anti-freeze in the oil or anything...and my motor IS A D (ZC = DOHC D series), probably why I'm having problems, lol.

I think it's been running really rich, when it used to be in I would get like 20-25mpg. I'm positive that my pump and filter are fine, cuz it worked on my B18...I'm thinking about changing out the injectors...I was told that could be the problem
