Well, I got my LE to start up once again. Ended up being fouled plugs. Replaced with new ones and it fired right up and ran great. Revved up no problems. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Lot of white smoke coming out of the exhaust. I thought it might be unburnt fuel until I saw this:

oil level to high, over pressured crankcase [no vent or pcv valve], worn valve guides, stuck or worn/broken piston rings, or maybe all the oil that might have been shot into the cylinders is just burning out after after having been stored for a while.

You guys are too funny (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol3.gif)

Here is a picture of the plugs. What should I do next? Compression check? (did one a few weeks ago cold and 1, 2, 3 were around 120 and #4 was under 100). Or do I need to pull the motor (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif)

did you crank this over and over trying to start it?

this could be that you washed down the cylinders with gas from the injectors when it wouldn't start. that would mix with the oil on the cylinders and get past the ring real easy.

drain the oil and see if it smells like gas. if it does change filetr and refill with oil and try it again. the smoke might clear up.

Yes, I did crank and crank and crank....
Also double checked the vac lines. Didn't have the canister hooked in and just joined the two hoses. May have caused pressure from that set up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
Have added the canister and, following a vac line diagram I found on the web, made sure all lines were in the correct spot.
Cleaned off plugs and reinstalled.
Will drain oil and add new. After that... start it and let whatever oil is still in cylinders burn off?

Thanks for the input, messix.

don't drive it or run it any more untill you check for gas in the oil, if you do you will end up replacing all bearings in the motor. gas polluted oil will kill bearings quickly.

You need to drain the oil from the exhaust (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Seriously

I have drained the oil. It was the consistency of gasoline! Thanks for that advice. Will put fresh oil and filter on tomorrow.

you don't have to drain the exhaust (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) it will evaporate and burn out on it's own.
