    Fixing rich burning (story,symptoms inside)

    well my headgasket blew on my car to later find out it was due to a cracked head. so i got a new head got it checked and got a new headgasket. well my car hasnt been ran in about a month so my battery was completely drained. so we jumped it and got it running but its burning rich its smoking and the smoke burns your eyes like gas.

    What should i go about checking?
    i ask this because while i fixed the head i got a new fuel filter spark plugs and wires. along with other stuff not related to the fuel lol. so does anyone have any ideas what my problem is?

      Is this after the initial start up? My friends 91 SE blew the headgasket badly and after a complete rebuild, we took it for a test drive. It drove great and we were able to break it in fine BUT the amount of smoke was unbelieveable (done many partial and full rebuilds and I've never seen anything like it). Turns out it just needed a good 15min or so of driving on the road to burn off all the coolant and what I figure as unburnt fuel that ended up in the exhaust when the hg blew. Never smoked after that and passed emissions with ease.

        Yes this was after the initial start up after putting on a new headgasket.

          well i took it for a drive and good news is it runs great/ and does not over heat. Bad news is... it's still SMOKING!! lol

          any ideas? or would changing my 02 sensor stop making it smoke?

          its doesnt smoke very noticable for the first few minutes but once its to operating temperature its smoking noticably. but not like giant clouds worth just a steady stream of annoyance

            How long was the test drive? Depending on how badly the hg blew and the amount of moisture in the system, you may need more than the 15mins I needed with my friend's car. I had to break in the motor so that involved atleast a 15-20min warm up at idle before we went for the 15min drive.

            What color is the smoke? Does it still smell funny? It is possible the O2 got killed by the excessive coolant and fuel when the hg blew...but at this point, it's hard to say "Yes you should change the o2" when that may not be the problem.

              the coolant could have taken the o2 sensor out. o2 sensors dont like oil, coolant or carbon.

                What are some other things that could be causing this?

                      Blue is oil .... Black is rich........ Could be both but I bet you have a issue with burning oil at the least..

                        what would be causing me to burn oil? or is it just maybe all the oil in my exhaust and such from when my headgasket blew?

                          Piston rings. Do a compression test to confirm.

                            Did the car overheat when the hg blew? If it got hot enough, there's a good chance the piston rings are toast.
