I have a 93' bravada and I changed the cpi feul injectors and topped off all fulids and changed the oil and oil filter. After doing all that I still have a hesatation and heavy white smoke comming out the tail pipe. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks Jay

Sounds to me like a bad intake manifold gasket.

Or its head related ie a warped/cracked head or a blown headgasket.

That causes excessive white smoke.

I already replaced the intake manafold gasket. Could it be a pvc valve going bad? Or do you think its deffinetly a head problem?

Pcv valve wont cause white smoke

i think its the heads then or the intake could be cracked on it, but unlikely.

A cylinder compression test will tell you if its head related.
