BIG PROBLEM WITH CAR, PLZ HELP. IM SO STUMPTED. Shoebox, Injuneer inside
check your fuel pressure. could be a faulty fuel pressure regulator (blew out the valve). smell your oil make sure it doesn't smell like gas. if it does change your oil before you scuff up your cylinder walls. take all the plugs out overnite to let the gas evaporate and clean the plugs as best you can. put everything back together and see if it starts.
Good Luck!

That's a good suggestion. The pop you heard could have been the diaphragm in the regulator blowing (since it is right close to the firewall). That would cause the engine to suck fuel through the vacuum line that goes to the RH side of the manifold. That would severly flood the engine on that side (5 and 7 especially). Checking that vacuum line will only take a minute.

well, i took out 6 of the plugs(2 i cant get to) and it smelt and had gas on the plugs. Checked the oil, smelt like gas also. So, im guessing the fuel pressure thing was right. Now, if it did blow, does it need replacing, also, where is it at? I changed the oil. It still wont crank. More answers please
ttt, plz, help,
im so sad, i dont know what to do. I wish, when the engine ran rich it would have blown and taken me with it
I dont know what to do. I dont have much money. IM depressed.......

Yea man, its not the starter. I bet its your battery, jump the thing. I am not worried about the issue your having with the white smoke, like it was suggested its prob the fuel presure regulator. But what I am curious about is what the bang was under your car, can you describe it, and where exactly it felt like? Was it on the highway?

. I have a feeling that the loud noise was an explosion in the exhaust because it was running VERY rich. Like i said, when i pulled the plugs, gas came out. So far, i have pulled all but one plug. I cant, for the life of me get the plug on the passenger side, the 1st one. I pulled the altenator, and still cant get it
. I also changed the oil, and pulled the starter to test it and its fine, so it is the battery thats the problem. Im hoping that once i put everything back together tomorrow, that it will be ok. Please, give more input. also, what else should i do before starting it the 1st time. Is the fuel pres reg still a problem? Or is it just happen every so often
I think ive listed everything ive done so far, i praying like no other that it will start tomorrow, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GOD HELP ME.
SO im guessing he was right with the fuel pres reg blowing the valve. My main question is, does it need replacing? I still had pressure in the fuel system, because when i undid the gas cap a lot of pressure was released, so the system is holding pressure. Now this vacuum line that shoebox was talking about, where is that located. If i do need to replace the regulator, does anyone have instructions? I know where its at, but not sure how to replace it.
