Gas in oil,coolant on plugs, smokes really bad

SOURCE: 2003 chevy venture,cylinder3 misfire

Well you don't say what engine it has. I just had to put a helicoil in the head of a 3.4L 'cuz it had pulled the threads out of rocker arm bolt hole for cyl. #3. Car ran great afterward.

take out all the spark plugs and put a radiator pressre tester on the radiator and pressurize the system, then inspect each spark plug hole for coolant. you will find out what cylinder or head will need service. How did this car run before sitting? Blue smoke is not good, although it doesnt sound like you have run it long enough to verify any real cyl problems. if its smoking it may be overhaul time. and the complete engin ewill need disassembly.

Testimonial: "Great advice, I wanted to do some initial troubleshooting before rushing in to a teardown. This is the info I needed. Thanx"

gm has a tecnical service bulleten out it affects all astro s and blazer s remove distrbuter cap and rotor clean out breather holes in base of dist 2 total replace with new cap and rotor 70dollars for both moisture builds up in dist cap causing the problem.

the head gaskets are blown you can believe that anytime on any engine gas or deisel that you get oil in the radiator and there water/ antifreeze in the oil pan the gaskets and or cylinder heads are bad

SOURCE: 2000 S10 with 4.3 V6 has P0305 trouble code,

P0305 is the generic DTC (Data Trouble Code) for cylinder #5 mis-fire detected, and you have already eliminated the ignition tune-up parts as the problem, the next procedure should be a compression check, at least on the #5 cylinder to rule out the possibility of a mechanical mis-fire. If the compression is good then check the pick-up coil located inside of the distributor for any damage, and there is a possibility that a fuel injector is faulty or has a broken fuel line, and if the upper intake manifold is removed, and the large wire connector and fuel lines replaced back on the fuel injector assembly, then cycling the ignition key off and on several times will show if there is a fuel leak on any of the fuel injector lines, and removing the fuel injector nozzles from the lower intake manifold and then cranking the engine over (have the ignition coil connected but be certain to have the ignition coil high tension wire to the distributor cap grounded) will show if any fuel injectors are not firing or have a plugged up nozzle. The original fuel injector assembly in that vehicle has the actual fuel injector inside of the injector assembly block and the fuel travels through a small plastic tube out to a fuel nozzle attached out on the lower intake manifold for each cylinder, and a replacement fuel injection assembly is made a lot better and will have the fuel injector mounted out from the injector assembly block on the end of a larger heavier plastic tube with covered wires running back along the fuel tube to the injector block. Do you remember what the #5 spark plug looked like when you removed and replaced it and did any of the spark plugs have a black sooty carbon fouling? The #5 cylinder is located at the rear spark plug on the driver side and here is a firing order diagram to assist you. The catalytic converter would not be the suspect and moisture or clear liquid dripping from the tail-pipe is an indication that the catalytic converter is functioning properly, unless coolant or liquid is running out of the tail-pipe, then there might be a faulty intake manifold or cylinder head gasket, and a rotten egg smell is usually caused by poor fuel if the smell is coming from the exhaust, or an over-charging battery condition, (voltage at the battery should be between 14 an 16 volts when the engine is running) and let me know if you require the procedure to remove the upper intake plenum, or if you require any further assistance.
