here are the symptoms:
btw, it's on a S13 Sr20DET Red top.

- large amounts of thick white smoke at idle
- Cylinder 3 and 4 spark plugs soaked in gas, 1 and 2 wet.
- idle is getting rough
- a/f ratio is not constant.

I have already rebuilt the turbo and these are different symptoms than before.

The coolant is clean and it's not burning oil.  It is burning coolant though.

what could it be?  simply change the injectors?  
please help guys.

thanks!

White smoke?  Does it have a "sweet" smell?  You say you are burning coolant.  Sounds like a leaky head gasket or cracked head.

can you see any air bubbles in the coolant reservoir?
