Poor engine performance, white smoke.....
Alright so about a month ago I was cruising around and riding the throttle pretty hard. SO I turned around to go home and it didn't have the power it used to. Car still ran fine but once it hit about 55mph it started to dog down pretty bad. So I parked and left it cause of time. Now I need it fixed and whatever it is the problem is getting worse and worse. Everytime I check something and take it out for a test drive it is getting worse. Now the car can barely make it down the street. Here is everything I have checked:
oil- clean no antifreeze
Compression- all four cylinders are within 5 psi of each other
intercooler pipe couplers
Spark plugs- no damage but white in color
Its not the turbo because I just bolted on a 16G EVO III and still has crappy perfomance
Now being that the plugs are white could mean a fuel problem, but I already have a new fuel pump in it, put it in last summer. So now its either the fuel pressure regulator or an air meter......but I don't know. I need this car up and running ASAP. There has to be some people in the Big Lake area that can help me .......... I need this car byb 2 p.m. on Monday
