hey guys, so i finally got the car running. it ideled perfect for any given amount of time. so at this point i put insurence on it and drove it around, it drove like a dream. me and my girl were on our way back home and the car just cut off and wouldnt start back up. got it towed to the house and tried again.... nothing. so i went and got new plugs and wires. didnt help. ok, so i tried again, but this time i pumped the gas. it started but it sounds like its skipping bad. if i take my foot off the gas it will shut off. so, new fuel filter. again, didnt help. so i pumped the gas and started it again while holding the gas again, but this time i noticed that there was white/greyish smoke coming from the tailpipe. what could be happening???

i checked the timing. to the best of my knowlage it is on. would that cause the white smoke??? and if its water how do i fix it??? oh, and what does it mean when you try to run the cel codes and the cel just stays on???Sig removed due to excessive sizeComment

im no good with computer diagnostics so i could not tell you. but for the water, B G products makes something for this, not sure what its called. you cant get rid of the water right away, you can only disperse it. dont use HEET, it does absolutely nothing but waste money.Comment

Check your distributor just to be safe. If its not that then the fuel pump is bad.1)92 Accord lx - I/E w/ valves, springs and retainers. H22 bored to h23 not goin in this summer.--Totaled

Take all the plugs out and see if the car spits out the gas. That will deff let you know if the distributor is bad.1)92 Accord lx - I/E w/ valves, springs and retainers. H22 bored to h23 not goin in this summer.--Totaled
