I would warm the car up.........let cool some..pull coil wire, pull out plugs,mark you wires...you can use a tester that has a rubber end to fit the hole or a screw in

try closing the plug gaps down to .025" and see if that helps any.

first off, are you loosing any coolant? check your oil in the light for signs of coolant. If not rule out a blown headgasket. White smoke could be a number of things including gas from leaky injectors. If you have an Autozone near you they rent tools for doing compression test, fuel pressure, coolant pressure etc. Is your MAF calibrated for those injectors? have you tampered with the TPS?

I'll see if i can rent the compression tester. I'll check for coolant in my oil. I'm loosing a little coolant. I just change my oil so it should be very noticable. Any body know what the fuel pressure should be at? I'll check the volts on the tps also. Thanks!!!
