About a year ago I replaced the head gasket on my 2.2 motor (cleaned everything thoroughly on the engine etc). It smoked from the exhaust in the mornings until it warmed up then a move to Arizona cleared it up totally. More recently my oil light started coming on (I'm thinking oil pump) I did an oil change yesterday and that stopped the oil light from coming on, but my car smoked really bad this morning. I used one quart of thicker oil trying to save my oil pump a little longer til I get the cash together. Could this be why it smoked bad from my exhaust this morning?
The valve guides in the cylinder head are probably worn, allowing oil to seep into the cylinders overnight and burn off when you start up in the morning. That is why you're loosing oil, it's being burned off.
Testimonial: "That is exactly what the problem was, we found out talking to another mechanic. But alas two days later someone rear ended the car totaling it, so I guess that is not going to be my issue now.... I am gonna miss that car :( "
I dont think you should change your pump,Arizona is hot there,I used to live in Apache .Junction ,so you moved to the desert,so now you should change the grade of oil you use,a grade for hotter weather,I had a honda that would smoke after it set for a half a day or longer,I don't like to use additives but I think if you was to pour a bottle of slick 50 engine oil treatment,you would be surprised to see just how long it takes for your car to quit smoking,and run a lot better,I use it in every thing now,it is $15,and no new oil pump,you will be pleased

You have gone past the operating parameters of the computer sensors that measure air flow and manifold pressures There are many websites that deal with honda mods like yours, and likely you will find a cure there. I know there is a map sensor modification that can be made on Jeeps with the same items you have added, likely yours can be done as well. Try google and just type in honda forums and see what comes up.

the oxygen sensor maybe unplugged, it should be in the manifold, sounds like itss running rich, once fault fixed lean sparkplugs and reset ecu

White smoke out of the exhaust is one indication that the head gasket is blown. Another is to start the car and check the oil on the dipstick. If it's frothy or looks like a milkshake, this is another indication of a blown head gasket. The milky appearance indicates that coolant is in your engine, caused by a bad head gasket. If none of these symptoms occur, then the problem lies elsewhere. Hope this answers your question and feel free to post back with any other concerns or questions. Thank you.

Also no other light came on, just the oil light was blinking on and off at idle below 750rpms
