  1. I pulled off the plugs and both seemed to have a similar effect the car did not want to start right away and was smoking. For kicks and giggles I took both off and it still ran(needed more throttle and the check engine light turned on) but there wasn't any smoke with those two disconnected
  2. Ok, Here is the story. I just started driving (ie not supper hot) on the freeway (55mph) and I lost power. The car almost came to a stop then started to spew smoke like crazy from the tailpipe and from under the hood. Under inspection there was oil from under the hood, but I could not tell if it was leaking from anywhere(my theory is that the oil came from the fill cap). I got it towed home. I can still start it but there is smoke coming from the fill cap and tail pipe. I checked compression and the right side had 60-60 and the left side had 170-170. The car has 138000miles I had just replaced the timing belt and oil pump gasket, and CV joint driver side. Does anyone think that it is a head gasket? Or bad rings on both pistons(I am puzzled) Oh and all spark plugs were dark black
