p0410 secondary air inject system malfunction.
p0141 o2s heater circuit malfunction 1/2
p0136 o2s circuit malfunction 1/2
I also had a few p0300 codes. i changed spark plugs, coil, rotor n cap and wires today, so those should go away.

White smoke at startup is pretty normal until the car reaches operating temperature. Beyond that things get a bit deeper in the woods.

no white smoke while driving however when i started the car the other day with the hood up i noticed substantial white smog coming from the fuel line on the top passanger side of the engine...I've started the car a handful of times since then and haven't seen it again(although not every time do i have the hood up)...but the odor remains..
is the evaporative canister also called the air pump, or are these two different things?
