tailpipes. Changed spark plugs one was bad. Replace one fuel injector, one was bad. Actually my dad is doing all this for me. Someone mentioned that something else might need adjusting, however I don't recall what. Any suggestions on how to eliminate this problem. Everything else runs great.Just bought 94 Ford Thunderbird 4.6L OHC. Blows out some serious white exhaust. Acutually drips gas out of?
Sounds like maybe a headgasket, pressure test the cooling system.Just bought 94 Ford Thunderbird 4.6L OHC. Blows out some serious white exhaust. Acutually drips gas out of?
Replace catalytic converter, change transmission oil (or check it) - maybe not moving smoothly which can be harder on your engine. Check oil pressure %26amp; change engine oil to synthica Oil and check piston PSI pressure. Last check head gasket.Just bought 94 Ford Thunderbird 4.6L OHC. Blows out some serious white exhaust.

thats a bad head gasket or a cracked headJust bought 94 Ford Thunderbird 4.6L OHC. Blows out some serious white exhaust. Acutually drips gas out of?
Is it white SMOKE or STEAM? Smoke is thick and heavy and has an odour, steam is wispy and vaporous and feels wet. If it's steam, then you have an internal water leak or your engine is running excessivly cool in a cold climate. If the heater works ok, this is not the problem. Internal water leaks occur at the cylinder head gasket, headcracks or corrosion (has the car had proper coolant or just plain water), intake manifold and timing case on some vehicles. If you can smell a fuel/ exhaust type smell in the radiator you have a cylinder head problem because products of combustion are dissolved in the coolant and there shouldn't be. You will be loosing coolant too but won't be able to see where it's going. If it's white smoke then you have tansmission fluid or brake fluid getting burnt in the engine. Transmission fluid can only get into the engine via a faulty vacuum operated modulator valve on the transmission. Your car may not be fitted with one of these. If it is and it is faulty there will be a delayed upshift as well. Check with your mechanic. The only way brake fluid can get into the engine is via the vacuum line from a faulty brake booster/servo. The brakes will be very hard as well if this is the problem. Either way you will be consuming coolant, trans fluid or brake fluid check these and see which one keeps going down, that will give you a clue. Hope this helps.

I agree, if you have a bad plug that is probably the cylinder that is causing the problem. But, before you spend all that money. Buy some good, very good gas from a station that sells a lot, put some good ole fashioned rubbing alcohol in your tank (yes it is OK it will burn). This will get out any moisture in your gas tank. Which could be causing the steam.Just bought 94 Ford Thunderbird 4.6L OHC. Blows out some serious white exhaust. Acutually drips gas out of?
white smoke is an indication of a head gasket leak. take a small smell of the white smoke and see if it smells sweet, like antifreeze. You could also have a leak at the intake manifold near where the plug was replaced.
