leaking gas when u turn the key on is what u are trying to ask ?
describe this leak u speak of.

Where is it leaking from? You said you just installed a new motor! so maybe you didnt tighten the bolt that connects your fuel line to your intake manifold! there is also a hose on the right side of the intake manifold that carries fuel, make sure it doesnt have a hole in it. To tighten that bolt get an open end 17mm wrench and tighten it. I take it this was your first swap.

i haven't played with it in a few days but i think its leaking from the intake manifold but it leaks from the bottow of the car too. i haven't started it in a few days do you think its safe to start

To be honest I would not recomend starting it or driving it until you have corrected this problem. I wouldnt want you to kill your self. Where on the bottom is it leaking from? its not leaking from your exhaust manifold is it? because if it is then your injector resistor box may be the problem. That would mean that your injectors are staying open and flooding your motor with fuel. If this is the case dont start your car at all because that fuel is still in your motor and it could ignite and blow the oil pan off the bottom of your motor. You would have to flush it. The way to tell if there is fuel in your motor would be to remove the oil cap from the head and see if it smells like gas. Or pull the dipstick out and see if the oil is very runny and smells like gas, gas thins out your oil. This may not be the prob so dont get scared.

i check the oil cap and the dipstick the other day and it smelled like gas. im not sure but i think i had a bad fuel injector because my last engine would shoot out white smoke out the tail pipe. but i used the same everything the only thing new is the block and the head. what should i do to flush it out. there is also a little gas next to my exhaust pipe.

Buy some straight flush, from like auto zone, drain all the oil out of it and remove the valve cover, so that the gas can evaporate, then let it sit for a day or so that way the gas will evaporate from the head. I think you will need a new Injector resistor box, you can get them from junkyards, you may also want to replace your ignighter because the cylinder sensor wire may be bad on it. That Cylinder sensor tells the ECU where the number 1 cylinder is and then tells the injector resistor box how much fuel to send to each injector based on the position of the number 1 Cylinder. Make sure you flush the motor good, I would also recommend buying a oil pan gasket and removing the oil pan so you can clean the inside of it out and then remove the oil pickup and clean it out. Your best bet would be to get some who knows how to do this stuff to do it for you.

[CRX boy]

Is this engine shooting white smoke like your other one?

[Baron96JDM]

no the last one did

[CRX boy]

Man I really wish I could help you but I would have to look at your car to determine the problem because at this point it could be anything. You could buy a Hanes repair manual and try checking your engine codes, to check your codes take a paper clip and you will see a clip by the ECU that isnt plugged into anything and stick the clip in it, bend the paper clip so that it forms a U shape when you stick it in, then turn your ignition to auxillary. Your Check engine light will come on, then it will start blinking, count the number of times it blinks and it will stand for a code, for example if it blinks 9 time its code 9, then check the repair manual in the self diagnostics section and it will tell you what code 9 stands for.

if your key is turned to the Accessory mode or just before firing the starter the only thing taking place SHOULD be your fuel pump purging the injectors for start up....I am not sure what all you have done....Check your fuel line into your fuel filter, check injectors, fuel pressure regulator, lines running into fuel rail.....and white smoke is oil not gas....gas is black smoke

Thats not true, I have flooded my motor with fuel before, and it was nothing but white smoke. Black smoke is oil, alot of turbo charged cars throw out black smoke because they are burning up some oil in the turbo's. Most cars that throw off white smoke have fried piston rings and yes they are burning oil, so you see it could be oil or gas. But NAEBPOOSi is right, I think you forgot to tighten something. But if he did flood his motor with fuel he would not have been driving it, because I didnt drive mine.

[Baron96JDM]

my last one would smoke not this one but i just found the problem the fuel line came off shootin gas out the back of my intake manifold. it was to dark when i look at it so i couldn't see it. should i change my oil filter after i flush it. thank for the help

[CRX boy]

Yes you should change your oil filter.

[Baron96JDM]

i screwed up when i went to tightin the bolts on the valve cover i broke the screw in the hole and now its in there. how the hell do get that out.

[CRX boy]

Which one did you break? To be honest I have never done that so I wouldnt know how to remove it. My guess would be to remove the head and take it to a machine shop and have them remove it then they will re thread it. I do not recommend that you do the work, get somebody who knows how to do this to help you because when you put a head back on you have to tighten the bolts in a certain order, and tighten them to the right torque specs. You will need a torque wrench for that. Then you will need to do the Top Dead Center (TDC).

[gandhibrokemyskates]

you broke a valve cover stud? if so, those are easy to replace.
