74 2.0 FI - I am stuck, My 2.0 is running only when cold for 2 minutes Options

[Larouex]

Hi,

I have been lurking for a while and I am stuck, so I wanted to reach out and see if anyone can help me.

Symptoms
------------
1 - Car starts when cold
2 - Runs for a few minutes
3 - Then I start to see white smoke
4 - Then it dies until cold again
repeat 2-4

What I have done
---------------------
Replaced all vacuum hoses with new one from AA. Verified all is correct
Tested injectors and replaced one bad one
Tested spark at plugs, seems inconsistent
Checked points gapped correctly
Checked distributer
Checked the injection trigger points
Replaced cap, rotor, condensor and plug wires

I picked this car up in an estate sale and it is really good shape (a little rust in the treated hell hole and some surface rust), but this is a real barn car.

I have tried to check out all that I am capable of and according to other tech articles, it says to check the triggers, but injection seems to be operating. I tested by pullling injectors and testing the flow. I have not checked fuel pressure yet.

Once it dies, it really will need to sit and get cold, then it fires up. Teases me badly <g/>

Let me know your thoughts to t-shoot this better, I want to solve it, the family is watching me <g/>.
