I own a 94 v6 and yesterday morning i went to work and it was running like ****. I got to work and the check engine light came on and it smelt like gas bad and white smoke was pouring out of my tailpipes. I had a friend check it with his code reader and it said i had a #6 cylinder missfire. We took the plug out and checked it and it was fine. Ran the computer on it and it cleared the code and it started up fine but when i went to leave it acted up again. Any ideas on what it could be or how to fix this? Thanks guys!

if its maken chocolate milk it could be worse than a head gasket..... I had a 71 firebird that did that and it had a hole in the cylinder wall

yeah that could also be the problem. butt that one i was talking about, all it need was literally the gasket. it was leaking exhaust and they hated it after awhile so i took and saw it imidiatley. really it only cost 20 bucks. i felt kinda bad because i almost wanted to sell it back to them

if you have a hole in your cyl wall which I highly doubt you do it will take a good amount of money to get fixed better off to buy a new car then.

i talked to my dad and he asking me if a trade in would be worth it on my car and i told him a def no haha....he also asked how much it would be to rebuild the engine...if we rebuilt it with a stroker kit and power pack would cost way more than having it rebuilt to stock performance? or would it be cheaper just to do a 5.0 swap? thanks for all your help!

buy a rebuilt 5.0 and drop it in would be the cheapest and most efficient thing, you would need to get an 8.8 rear though. Or at least t-lok

for your car a 5.0 would be an easy drop and you can find built 5.0s cheap, hell go to autozone and get one for your year 5.0 with a 3 year warranty for like 2500 bucks
