Alright guys. I have one for you. About a year ago, I was leaving home. My car had driven fine earler that day. But that night, The check engine and SES lights popped on and the car died as i was backing up. I was able to crank it and get it home. The next day it crank with no issues but the SES and Check Engine lights were still on. I changed the spark plugs and wires, oil, air filter but still problems with stuttering then dying. but it would crank back up. It read code P0452. I tried the gas cap thing but before i could reach a shop, the car died and refused to crank thereafter. Some months later, it magically crank up but still stuttered. I changed the "fuel tank pressure sensor" and the fuel pump. But still it stuttered and cut off once put in drive. ONe day recently in a test run to see if it'd make it to the shop, it began to smoke behind the engine near the firewall. After having someone check it out, i drove it up the street to see could i get to the shop (3 miles away)...but it only got 1/4 mile and it cut off and won't crank at all anymore. Like i said, the last code read was P0452 (the only code on the tester)...if it sits for a long time, it'll seem to want to crank but it seems as if it's not getting any gas to it. Can anyone tell me what the problem may be? I gotta get my baby back on the road for my new job.

 

so what was the source of the smoking?

how many miles on it?

 

I have one for you, what in the H does your screen name mean?

 

I got about 96,000 miles on it. and before it cut off, the smoke was coming from the firewall seemingly below the injectors (not the injectors themselves) And the screenname has a personal meaning inappropriate for the forum.
