    smoke. lots of smoke

    lately i've noticed when i floor it in gear 1 or change from 1st to 2nd at the redline i blow a fair bit of smoke out the exhaust.
    the first time it happened i slowly revved to 2k in 1st and then planted it which made me think it could be running rich maybe if the AFM was blowing open very quickly?
    I'm not loosing oil quicker then usual and there is no smoke during normal driving or at idle.
    Any ideas?

                does it blow smoke in neutral when you snap the throttle

                    Shoot, could be lots of things. Failing coil pack, wire or spark plug. TPS or AFM or even a leaky injector. I always start with the simple things then work my way up. Swap some known good parts to test out. I'm no professional though.
