EXHAUST SMOKING
Problem - Smoking heavily from the left pipes. It backfires loud and smells very rich with gas.
Possibility 1 - If it's only coming out one tail pipe, I might suspect some type of cylinder / piston or ring problem. Maybe oil getting past the rings, hence the smoke.
Possibility 2 - Check the plugs or just replace them.
Possibility 3 - Might be a computer problem. Switch them and see if the problem moves to the other side.
Possibility 4 - Check all the small vacuum hoses for an air leak (very common, and very likely, especially the hose to the MAP sensor. Then check both 02 sensors for either water in the connection on just simply failed.
Possibility 5 - Check coils. Swap them from side to side to see if problem changes for left exhaust to right exhaust.
