Hi and Welcome.

2 years you said? well, how about bad gas! before you put money in injector cleaning, check the fuel pressure, check if air is comming in fine (filter), unplug OS and see if it's still bad. Run engine at idle and unplug each injector one by one and see if engine drop each time.

And of course, make shure that all ground are clean, left side to left head on a 1.9L

Cheers, Ben http://www.benplace.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you everyone for the advice. The smoke is white or grey. I don't really see any blue tone in it. It does not smell like coolant so I will rule that out. Given that it sat in storage for 2 years. I am going to send my injectors out to be cleaned and flowed. Anyone have a recommendation for that? Hopefully that will solve it. If not I should have my service manual and will be able to investigate further. I also plan on doing a leak down test on the cylinders. What Is the highest compression I could expect for my 1.9L? Wayne
