Lost all my power and its smoking whats going on?
I have a 358 with EBL Im runing WUD and notice nothing outta the ordinary
BUT
It wont rev over 4300rpm in park, can barely pull up a hill at WOT, Smokes BADLY,
What should I do, my dad says its a fuel issue, Im about to go and put a new filter on in a few minutes.
Any idea, ive read about the EGR and CCP being a problem that could cause this,
but it was so sudden, just started yesterday.
EDIT
I think the smoke issue was actually oil leakage getting on the exhaust and burning off, every bolt on the valve cover was loose, I got about 2-4 turns out of all the,

Get yourself a fuel pressure checker for TBI from Autozone or wherever you go. It comes with a gauge and an in-line schrader valve fitting that you can install where the fuel lines go from hard-body lines to rubber in the front driver side corner of the engine bay. Should be between 10 and 13 if your pump is good when you do a key-on prime.
Always remember there is a chance that it will read good at idle but drop under load.

What color smaoke? How is the idle? This might sound real dumb but back when I still had fuel injection the coolant temp sensor in the intake had a bad wire leading to it. Might have been a break in it but you could barely move it and the car would die it would run ok then smoke stumble and youd have to floor it to even go. wiggled a wire after chasing the prob and sure enough the single prob.

I had to replace the sensor, so thats fine, (I wish it was that)
But the smoke is white, I belive it was Oil,
which gets me to this.
I think I had a Massive Intake leak, Stock L03 intake ontop a Gen1 motor, wasnt sealing up to well.
Idles fine doesnt seem out of the norm for idle

hmm, gray smoke plus no power usually means blown motor, happened to one of my friends. maybe drain the oil and check for metal.

Re: Lost all my power whats going on?
well is it still blowin a ton of smoke out the exhaust? if it is that means piston rings are gone which means pistin rings or worse are gone and no power means its not runnin off all cylinders so something serious is not right. but im not sayin it def is that... just sumthin to check out.

(since the oil is getting on the exhaust)
So would a Leaking intake cause all this too? SUcking a bunch of air?

Re: Lost all my power whats going on?
i wouldnt think so, spray wd-40 around where you think its leaking and if the rpm's go up, you have a leak.
