Message hey what's up guys.
i did a plenum swap and after the plenum swap, it drove amazing. like brand new.
a day after the amazing drive, it was misfiring like hell and ended up bogging, then finally died. nowww, the car stays on but still misfires while blowing a thick white smoke.
the car has always been great right until this plenum swap. i daily drove it for two years. here's a picture just to show you guys how much i take care of the car:

okay anyways, i'm really considered why this is happening. i was looking under google and i immediatley see posts like, "time for new motor", which scares me, but i couldn't see why.
a friend of mine mentioned the intake manifold gasket/coolant, which is funny because when i bought the new intake manifold gasket, i didn't know which side to have it facing the plenum.
it's flat, then on one side it has a black mold around the circles, and i wasn't sure which side. but the car drove perfect RIGHT after the plenum swap. drove it the next morning and it was hell.

do you guys have ANY suggestions?... another suggestion someone told me was either a connector mistake or a vacuum leak but... everything looked pretty good to me... thanks guys.
