Ok what should I do now?(concerning smoke/running rich)
Dont know what to do anymore. Im sitting at a light idleing, and my car pours out smoke from the exhaust. Looks to be whitish, but hard to tell. I guess it could be grey smoke from it running rich. Car is running rich, I can smell the gas. I dont think its coolant getting in there, cause im not seeing any symptoms of loss of power and hard starting like everyone experiences.
What should I do now to find out either why its running rich and/or whats causing it to smoke soo much.
O2's are fine. Dont hear any exhaust leak, and plus I have a scanmaster, and if I had an exhaust leak the BLMS would be off right?
Any other way to tell with the scanmaster? Should I take it to the dealer and pay them to do a scan on the car?
Please give me any suggestions, im ready to throw my car away. ANY ideas are very welcome. Thanks.

figure out if it's white or blue smoke or black smoke or whatever..
check the oil and see if it is milky indicating blown headgasket
pull the plugs and inspect them (or at least a few) to see if the plugs are fouling or whatever
do a compression check if you can't figure it out for a while
