This is like playing the lottery! LOL

My luck sucks, so I don't buy Lotto tickets.

What does your scanner/magic eightball say?:rolleyes:

It's the next game....figuring out if we have been left hanging. @rockola1971, you can go back to post #1 and top right, click on 3 dots and edit thread as "unsolved", if you so choose.

Since the answer hasn't arrived yet.....

Based on the clues I instantly went for some type of coolant consumption based on the white smoke - but we can't smell through this site yet, so I can't be for sure. Throttle body or head gasket seeping?

The reduced power on DIC could also lend to an electronic failure caused by a rodent? Maybe the mass airflow sensor, throttle body wiring, or injectors themselves.

I'd like a pic of the engine compartment and a video of the run.

But, as @OR VietVet said, puzzles are fun! Good game!

Ok.. This hasn't been answered yet so I'm giving it a shot.

hard to start?
Fouled plugs and or mechanically gapped plugs
Chugging white smoke??
Coolant leak in the combustion chamber...
Reduced engine power?
This is due to the other obvious signs, by design
No idle?
Large vacuum leak.. or combustion chamber leak.. hence the smoke..
