Can you help? Could smell gas and check engine light came on. No smoke. Injectors were replaced, now gets smell of gas and excessive white smoke out of tail and ocassionally black smoke. Car runs good, check antifreeze ok, no oil mixture.
Car starts fine with normal smoke but as heats up smoke increases throughout neihborhood.
Any suggestions?

White smoke is an indication of coolant being burned in the cylinders-possible blown headgasket or cracked head or block and an intake leak-Get it block and pressure tested.
