was driving this morning and the engine wouldn't let me past approx 3500 RPM(i don't know cause i don't have a tach) in every gear, it felt like it was hitting the rev limiter. at idle it would idle extremely low and turned offf once or twice. I thought it could've been cause I was really really low on gas... i filled up and no difference.
after about 10 minutes of driving the engine started to rumble and shake really bad. I parked and restarted then thick white smoke started coming out the exhaust. I shut it down, got out the car and smelled gas.
do you guys have any idea what the problem could be?

btw. I have a B20


thanks

white smoke = head gasket gonzo. (burning coolant)

chris_si98

is it a sweet smell?

Lowridah

no the smoke smelled like fuel.

yeah most likely head gasket is gone or head is warped

smell of gas could be bad mixture, car running too rich
