It appears that you have a bad head gasket and that has caused a spark plug to not fire. That means that gas vapor is going through the engine and out the exhaust. This is not going to be cheap to repair.

    Engine running strong and no codes, I just replaced valve cover gasket, but was not smoking before I replaced the gasket. The fumes smell like very rich gas not antifreeze

  • Anonymous Mar 24, 2013

    Is there maybe something I could have done during replacing the valve cover gasket that could cause gas to be coming from the exaust

  • Brad Brown Mar 24, 2013

    IF you dont believe it is the head gasket and all the white vapor out the exhaust is fuel then there are some huge problems because the catalytic converter will overheat or there will be an engine fire. The vehilce will be destroyed. contact a dealer and speak to the service dept and have them check for any outstanding campaigns. There are several that could be causing this.

SOURCE: whats the best grade of gas to put in saturn vue v6 AWD

Your car should run just fine on regular. If your owners manuel says super then that is what you should use. It is advisable to buy fuel from a high volume station because it will be fresh and less likley to get contaminated by sediment. Good Luck.

I have a 2004 Saturn Vue 3.5 AWD V6,compression is good on all 6 cylinders ,I had a little oil on 2 spark plugs in the back head cleaned them and it is running good but I have a lot of white smoke coming...

If you are getting a lot of white smoke it would indicate antifreeze is getting into the cylinders. Overheating would indicate that you may have a thermostat problem, check your radiator for fluid level and how the fluid looks. If the car has been severely overheated them likely the head gaskets are bad.
