Issue- After work yesterday i started my car up and drove about a mile to target and when i got there and parked the car started running really rough and then a lot of white smoke started coming out of the exhaust and the car wreaked of fuel. I just figured that the car wasn't completely warmed up so didn't think much of it.
When I tried to start the car up again it just cranked and then it seemed like the battery was dead and it wouldn't crank at all and just gave that click. I let it sit for a few minutes and tried again and luckily it started so i let it sit and run for a few minutes and got going and kept it below 3-4k rpm's just in case something was seriously wrong and i just wanted to get it the 5 miles to my parents house.
About half a mile from the house i thought the car was back to normal so i let boost hit and right after i let off the car started hesitating really badly and felt like it was missing again so i barely rolled into the driveway and then lots of smoke started coming out of the exhaust again and it seemed like it was missing badly also and the smell of fuel was very strong.
I've been doing a lot of reading and i think it might be a bad coil pack or boost leak or something. it seemed to happen all of a sudden
Mods- the car is a 2000 forester L with a 04 wrx swap that was completed about 8 months ago and i've had no real problems since i started it (guess it was too good to be true)
vf-39
accessport with downloaded map (not the greatest tune but had been doing the job, but was a little rich)
sti jdm injectors
walboro fuel pump
perrin front mount intercooler
invidia bellmouth downpipe
greddy ti-c exhaust
act lightweight flywheel
act sport clutch
lightened crank pulley
straight cut ppg 1-2 gears
and probably some other stuff i can't remember
could this be some spent rings or something?
edit...
when i tried to start the car today (christmas day) it took some cranking then finally started and after it had ran for a few minutes i was watching the engine bay and i noticed something dripping from the joint between the turbo and the downpipe, i guess i don't have the greatest seal there but when i caught a drip with my finger i smelled it and it was fuel...
what the hells going on.
is my motor toast?
