new spider injection system, new egr, new rotor and cap.
Ill get you the pic of the tranny pan as soon as I can

as a new development to the "white smoke" problem which I am still not able to determine its cause. Now has a bluish tint to it for some reason that gets a little darker as I rev it up, not majorly blue but noticeably blue and the amount of smoke its producing is unreal, like when I drive down to the store just shy of a mile away it leaves a huge! Lingering trail of bluish white smoke the whole way! Literally. And for some reason im getting a ton of fuel being dumped out the tail pipe you can smell this van coming a mile away(i know I need that fuel pressure tester bad, but I can only get it when I have the cash, lost my job because of no transportation). Somebody please tell me this isnt a loosing battle and that my baby aint dying, just sick.

I just went out and counted the bolts. It is a 16 bolt tranny pan.5 bolts on the left and right side.3 at the top and bottom.(I counted it 4 times to be accurate)
i will be uploading a few pics just as soon as I figure out my digital camera.

Again thanks for all your help guys.

Keith.

Ok, just thought of another cause for the Smoke ad now that you say it is Bluish/White. Change the PCV Valve it I believe is located in the Vavle Cover on the Passenger side. If it is clogged it can cause the smoking.

Good evening,

What is the primary color of the smoke?

I attached guides for the colors of the smoke.

The most common issue is valve seals leaking oil into the cylinders for burning oil.

See if you can narrow it down for me and let me know.
