    Engine Troubles

    I have a 89 Accord DX, carb. I am having some not so slight engine issues... First off, it sounds like a lawn mower, which i have narrowed down to 3 things. Mechanic says there is a possibility that the distributer is dead...or gone...or dying...w/e. Another is a exhuast leak (interesting side note, i bought a replacement exhuast piece, and the bolt pattern on the engine end, not the cat end, was backwards....strange) And lastly, a possible dead cyclinder. The OTHER issue is that is smokes worse than a backed up wood stove, thick white/blueish smoke (which could be related to the engine...malfunctions?) would be cool if i could track down some answers. Thanks guys. (p.s. its at 199,856 miles, cant wait to see that barrier broken)

    I think you could have an over-rich condition or sticking valves, do a compression check
