Message: [QUOTE="TARM, post: 446769, member: 578"] Copracr, The thick white smoke is likely fuel; smell it to confirm. Its not burning so you are getting raw fuel out the tailpipe. Now you say it starts to crank and then stops. Does it song like it trying to turn the engine over and it can't. Then it frees up and it cranks? that is the way I am reading your post. If so that sounds like you may have a cylinder filled up with fuel and its almost hydro locked and why it can barely turn over but once it gets the fuel out it turns over. That sounds like a injector issue. Dave ( Golfer ) Is the expert around here IMO. So hopefully he or someone with more knowledge than I will correct anything if I get it wrong here: Cracked Injector cup maybe. If it were to crack down low I would think fuel could dump into the cylinder. Check your coolant and see if you see or smell fuel in it. Another idea would be a worn or damaged copper washer than then allow the bottom oring to get melted allowing once again fuel to drain into the cylinder. Blown or broke nozzle would as I have first hand knowledge of what it can do. I will say until you figure it out or unless I am miss understanding the symptoms and its not hard to turn over stop trying to start it as you could do damage. Maybe try turning it over by hand from the harmonic balance bolt with the belt off. You should be able to turn it over well under the tq level the bolt is tightened to. If not that would make me think a filled cylinder/s. Lets see if Golfer or someone else has something to offer. [/QUOTE]
