I watched the video. This is what I heard.

0.15 min start
0.17 min - Idle
1.07 min - A single POP
1.24 min - Started fluxuating the RPM slightly
1.33 min - Fuel starvation starts adversely effecting Idle

The Engine is running out of fuel. This video does not give me any indication of bad gas, because if gas is bad, it is all bad and will not wait for 1.33 minutes.

The so called SMOKE is just condensation, which happens on all vehicles, and is not a large amount.

I'm sticking with fuel delivery problem. fuel filter, pressure regulator, pump. A Direct reading mechanical gauge is required for further troubleshooting to determine which is the cause.


Just a couple of small observations....

That smoke in my opinion is more than just condensation...The kind of smoke that pouring out of that pipe looks like a cold start in Chicago when it's 19 degrees. Looked pretty mild where Randy's at....I could be wrong.

Fuel could be an issue....but keep in mind it's gotta be in open loop so it's getting extra fuel till the ecm starts taking input from all the sensors. If the car is starving for fuel at idle, you have a SERIOUS fuel problem on your hands. Get the fuel pressure gauge out and check.
