Too much exhaust and burns too much gas. Sign In

Hello. I have a 1990 Plymouth Acclaim 6 cylinder. 160K miles. It's been burning fuel like crazy, and there is way too much smelly exhaust. The exhaust is not dark/black like it is when cars burn too much oil. It's gray and smells really bad.

I've replaced the 02 sensor right behind the engine. Are there any other ones I should replace? I also replaced the sparkplugs. Nothing has helped. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you very much!..........scott

Is the check engine light coming on at all?

How much coolant are you going through and how hot is it getting?
