I just had work done on my honda accord ex fixing the oil sending unit, valve cover and the distributor oil ring, i was driving home and the car started to stall out. I got to a gas station thinking that it might be low on gas I smelled burning oil and the car was smoking. around the fuel injectors the attendant checked the oil and it barely registered. I put oil in but now the car smells like gas after i got home

is the ceck engine light on and if so what codes exist.......a bad resonator or carge air hose can cause the black smoke. where are you located

are you losing antifreeze? white smoke is usually a sign that antifreeze is getting into the cylinders and the result is the white smoke from the tailpipe. if you do a compression test and inspect the spark plugs for wetness you will find the cylinder that is leaking (you will have to replace the head gasket on the side if the engine if you find antifreeze in the cylinders) some times with blown head gaskets you will notice a lot of pressure in the radiator as well as air bubbles coming out of the radiator (caused by the compression coming from the cylinder through the cooling system and escaping through the radiator overflow or fill cap if you have it removed)
if there is any coolant galleries (water jackets) around the fuel plentum you may be getting the antifreeze into the intake/cylinders that way as well
hope this helps.....and keep me posted with comments here and ill be glad to assist you further.......thanks s60six!

I would talk to who cleaned the injectors, I don't know if it something they did or not. It could be a stuck open injector. The exhaust would have a raw fuel odor if it was. What it sounds like is a blown headgasket, which can just happen. The exhaust would have a sweet smell to it. Usually starts as a small leak (between cyl. 2 & 3), the engine burns the coolant while driving which you don't see. Then the coolant level gradually drops to a point where the car overheats, which warps the head, causing a large leak. Now you see the coolant burning (white smoke).
Good luck Honda Al

Hi vickie spencer, I want to help you with your question, but I need more information from you. Can you please add details in the comment box?
How much oil did you have to put in? Was the work done by a mechanic?
