Smells problem
1989 Nissan 240SX 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual 140k miles

I'm the original owner of this car and have treated it like my baby. For the past year I've brought the car to 3 different mechanics and they can't fix the problem. It runs rich, blows white smoke and bucks and smells like gas. The computer has been replaced, the fuel pump, the spark plugs and wires-to name a few. What's strange is that I take it home and drive it for a while and the whole thing acts up a again! This morning I watched again at the depressing sight of it up on the tow truck because it wouldn't start at all it was just dead after the white smoke and smell routine.I'm getting tired! Any suggestions?

White smoke is a no good sign-it indicates the coolant is being burn in the combustion chamber to include the gas smell which will not burn

Get it block and pressure tested this will tell you something if its a blown headgasket, cracked head or block.

When a fuel pump goes out it can do so one of two ways either it can quit and stop working or it can fail intermittently causing the engine to stall or not start.
