When I started the car white smoke poured out couldn't see through the back window... I smelled the smoke and it had a really strong smell of fuel... no water dripping from the tail pipe, oil is fine coolant is not discolored, well I'm going to check the plugs just in case. Any suggestions what can be causing this?
It sounds like the vacuum line going to the Vacuum Modulator on the side of the transmission. You would have to trace the vacuum line to be sure. When my Vacuum Modulator went bad the intake was sucking transmission fluid through the line.
Could you post a picture of the vacuum connection? Also, did you replace the CPS and did it make any change in starting/stronger spark?
