running really rich can do it. and it will distroy your motor, like what happened to jakes B16

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

[StangerBanger96]

Did one of your calipers seize up so you have some pad rubbage?

[SPANISH-RICE]

i always forget that you switched to the dark side sorry man

[KA-T_240]

injector o-rings? if you touched them did you lube them?

[XJHEAD]

When was the last time you checked oil prior to this event?

he just put the motor in, so I hope he just checked it. lol.

Oil and everything is fine...it isnt a caliper or anything, It's engine related as it pours out the exhaust. 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...

Was it over full before the trip though? i'm thinking that's what Bill was treying to say as well. I have seen that happen with as little as 1 cup over full on a 4 cylinder running over 3-3.5k rpms.

[bubba]

U mean the oil? 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...

Only one solution to your problem. Sell the Honda and buy a DSM.

[bubba]

^ I think I just threw up in my mouth a little...a broke honda is always better than a dsm...

[GarageAlchemist]

thats a horseshit idea Ohm.

[D S ohM]

I love the idea. DSM FTW...they are gonna make a comeback. I know it.

[bubba]

Just keep telling yourself that...I think most of us have realized there's better ways to go...i've seen more dsm owners convert to honda's than the other way around...

What color was the smoke, and have you checked your plugs yet to see what they look like. Pics are good too if possible.

[3_Series]

You could try using a wideband.
