What color smoke?

 

Any bubbles in the coolant? Still losing coolant?

 

Spark plug condition. How do the plugs look? Wet? Dry? Black? White? Green? Oily?

 

It sounds like you removed the injectors. Remove the park plugs and let the cylinders dry out for a day before trying to start it. Also get new O-rings for the injectors before putting them back in.

 

All vacuum hoses connected? Is there gas in the Fuel Pressure Regulator hose?

coolant is fill up. i know what you mean..i smell nothing as sweet from muffler.

 

there is WHITE smoke smell as GAS from muffler.

 

spark plug taste as gas.

 

maybe fuel injection had blow also very old..it's look dirty..and burn... make a gas burn to smoke-out?

Too much gas is usually black smoke. White is either coolant or a large amount of oil.

 

PCV valve stuck open?

Are the breather and PCV hoses attached properly?

How is the oil level?

 

Have you done either compression or leakdown test?

If fuel or coolant is in exhaust the exhaust can be white for a half hour easy.

 

Usually is after I replace an engine. Folks try starting a car after a timing belt breaks, or engine fails somehow. All that fuel stays in the exhaust a long time (months it seems). When new engine is installed it still all needs burned out - and burns white.

 

Engine running "well" and rich is black smoke. Fresh coolant burning OR burning fuel and crap out of exhaust is white.

 

OP never said what he was fixing originally, or more accurately what happened that it needed fixed.

 

And I'm having a lot of trouble with his english.

I'm having the same issue. PCV was stuck open and was going through oil like crazy. Cleaned the PCV last night but not sure it fixed it. Any ideas?
