the setup. my car hasn't run in about three years. we pull the engine, replace the clutch, replace the IACV, remove the EGR and AIV. put it back together. start it up. NOTE. i had pulled the harness to clean it up, and in the process cut off the old frayed and nasty o2 sensor plug. i forgot to put a new one on, so when we initially started it up, the o2 sensor was not connected. and it stumbled a bit, but it idled and didn't smoke.

so today i go in and put on a new connector and hook up the o2 sensor. everything seems cool. but then i take it for a drive, and about a block down the road, it starts smoking like mad. smokescreen of thin whitISH smoke. not pure white, not thick. i bring it home and let it idle, and it's more of the same, albeit not in the same volume.

any ideas? please tell me i don't need to pull this engine again. easy fix, guys. please.
