running rich...
lately it seems that some times my car has been running too rich, fuming white smoke out of my car...i reset the ECU and it stops...
i'm gonna guess this probably has to do with my messed up o2 sensor?
is there anything else you guys think it could be?

REDZMAN.... White smoke is Rich???? or lean??? I'm confuse in here...
My car is ruining really rich before installing the MSD... as soon as I installed, my "black"smoke dissapier

white smoke = gas...
if you get white smoke it means your burning too much fuel...doesn't get fully processed or what not to protect the environment...

white smoke also = coolant... when my elantra was running the stock elantra ECU with the DSM injectors and it was running hella right.. i remember black clouds just puffing out the tailpipe... so in my experience black = rich...
but if its running rich it could also be alot of things such as a injector stuck open, bad MAF anything that would make the ECU want to add more fuel

no idea...but college life has me with no cash in my pocket...and i haven't had any in there for a couple weeks now...so it'll be a little while before i replace it...probably this winter when i'm home and working again.

KayDM, ask some of us, I'm sure one of us, like Tibbychick, have some OEM 02 sensors around.
