black s14 i had a similar event occur to me. when i first bought my 93 fastback it was running like shit. was only running on 3 cylinders. i would pull the spark plug wire while the motor was running and it wouldn't change anything. i could also unplug the injector and wouldnt change how it was runing either. what ended up happening was the injector was stuck open and pissing gas into the cylinder. too much fuel for the spark to ignite. i pulled the spark plug and unplugged the inject and turned the motor over and gas was shooting out of the cylinder. did that for a lil while to try and get all the extra fuel out of there. replaced the spark plugs and got a new injector. now it runs like a champ. when you say that it was white smoke and smells like gas...sounds to me like one of your cylinders isnt firing and the excess gas is going right out the exhaust. if you keep running the car like this your going to bend a rod.
