My check engine light comes on and it starts to flash. I took my code reader and it sayed misfire of 6. Please can you help me. It eats up gas too. I dump $100 bucks a week alone in gas. I got white and some times blue smoke out of my tailpipes. When i drive it you can smell a strong gas smell. I have replace engine seals, sparkplugs and wires, new gaskets. Gas leaks from tailpipes. After i turn it off and come back to it you can smell gas really bad. Please Help Me. THANK YOU

Engine running rough or misfiring can be cause by the following:

1.Defective spark plug.
2.Inadequate spark/coil,defective spark plug wire.
3.Lack of compression
4.False air leakage.
5.Faulty fuel injectors.
6.Insufficient fuel pressure.
7.Contaminated fuel.
8.EGR valve that is leaking.
9.Oxygen sensors.
