How the hell do we know. We didn't spray it into your car, we didn't start your car, we didn't see the smoke, we have no idea if your car has ever smoked in the past.

Well, I've obviously pissed you off. Was not my intention. Just trying to figure out what's wrong with my car.

The gray smoke sounds like it could possibly telling you that your air/fuel mixture is off. Check your air filter and get some throttle body cleaner and try cleaning it. If the air filter is dirty, then replace it. Anything is possible with an internal combustion engine. If it didn't have the smoke before you added the fuel injector cleaner, I guess it's possible that it's burning some crap out of the combustion chamber. Check you spark plugs and either post a picture of them or tell us what color they are.

please also remember the codes -- one was for fuel mix rich.\
Did the codes ever come back, and had the SES light been on before the poor starting/initial running episode?

I don't think you pissed anyone off thats just the way sw2cam talks and is. Found out he's my neighbor after I joined this site. Very nice guy that doesn't mix words about anything. I think what he's saying is to start the car cold in the morning ..... see how it acts and what it does. Give it the 15-20 second delay ..... if it starts right up and you have no smoke you then may have two answers to your questions.

I really appreciate the feed back. I'll go ahead and try the mentioned remendies and report back.

Pretty crazy that he's your neighbor... small world.

Pissed off, you have alot to learn little one.

Have you checked your plugs yet? They're a good indicator of what is going on with your engine and it's a very simple procedure to do yourself.

I think he checked out ...............
