Okay so I have A 92 laser awd. The problem Im having is that my car runs like crap after it warms up. When I first start it it fires up right away and then Idles fine and doesn't smoke out the tailpipe but when the engine gets to normal running temp it starts smoking bad(gray white) wont idle and will die if I don't give it gas. There are no check engine lights. I did a boost leak test and its good, new plugs and wires. If anybody could help[ that would be great.
Thanks
 
I would have the computer scanned for codes. It appears to be happening during closed loop. Which is when the computer takes over and it quits running on pre-set parameters.

Pull those and let us know what they are if any exist.
Good Luck
 
Sounds like a possible cracked head.Could be a headgasket also, but doubtful. I think if it was a headgasket it would more than likely do it all the time.
