Gas smell and white smoke

[Tomc612]

I got 2 codes which were P00C6 and P0302. Fuel rail pressure too low engine cranking and cylinder misfire. White smoke and strong gas smell..I just made it home, car is being towed in the morning..

Tuned? .... Performance mods?

Lms Stage 3, 160T stat..returned to stock..Its not the tune that's for sure.. looks like  gas coming out of muffler too

I think this happened to somebody else and the injector was stuck on...hopefully that is all it is.

When I restarted car back up..I got like a locking sound,like its flooded, blinking engine light too, not steady..smells like pure gas

Keep us posted.  Hopefully something small.

I would leave it alone.  Let the dealer check it out.

Leaky fuel injector, dumping into the cats.  You don't have aftermarket downpipes yet, right, Tom?  I'd get the cats checked/replaced if necessary.

No down pipes yet..Seems like It can go but stalls and putters..#6 misfire and white smoke smells like gas..yuck

Regardless of the cause... your description sounds like excessive fuel is getting into the exhaust, if not leaking ... this could be dangerous (as in fire) as well as kill your cat from the rear bank of cylinders (#6 is the one nearest the driver on the firewall side of the engine). if not the third one also.... since you believe gas is coming out of the tail pipe.  You might pull the cap and plug from#6 to evaluate for gross abnormalities, gap, oil fouling, etc. the "white smoke" could just be water vapor as we commonly see. BUT I would echo SHOdded and nmb...

Let the dealer evaluate this is IMHO the best and safest thing to do.... and I personally would have it towed to the dealer rather than drive (maybe you still have some warranty and roadside assistance0

Yes I have the Ford ESP - Premium Care. They are going to tow at no cost. Car has 36,234 miles btw. I will update soon and thankyou.

Ford called back,they are ordering parts, #6 failed and are replacing all 6 Injectors. Everything else is OK..I was very concerned they were going to do some digging like to see if I been tuned ect. I even left the 160T in. Car will be ready Monday and now I'm a happy man again..Lol..

Sweet!  Good on them to take care of you properly.  I'd keep an eye on the performance of the cats for a bit afterwards.

Excellent!  Glad it worked out.  Kind of interesting that my gasket failure was also #6.  Nothing you did caused an injector failure anyway.  Zooming again soon!... For free!

Yes, I'm going to keep a real close eye on everything, the cats especially. I'm really thinking of purchasing the PPE catted DP's soon..and Thanks again..
