Hey guys. My car has been smoking a little while idling. I'm pretty sure the valve seals are going bad. I got on it a little earlier, the car started idling at like 1600 and I checked and noticed my alternator belt broke off. I replaced the alternator belt and it's still idling high and it's still smoking alot. Any ideas what could be causing this or what I can check? I'm a little worried. I think it's a little low on oil, so i'm letting the car cool down and i'm going to check that. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

It's throwing a code too, I think it's P1105. Something with air/fuel. They said at autozone it could be the wiring to the fuel pressure solenoid or the fuel pressure solenoid itself. I don't know if this has anything to do with it or not.

It's a 98 GS-T with a few mods. Nothing major. 14b turbo, bov, fmic, exhaust, and a few small other things.
 
I appreciate it, but that doesn't really tell me much. I don't have a wideband or any logging stuff. I just found a water hose that busted. It was the one to the right of the exhaust manifold. I'm trying to patch it up now as I can't get a new hose until tomorrow. There shouldn't be any oil on the engine. It was a little low, I just put a quart in it. It's low on water from where the hose is busted. Hopefully this fixes it. I did adjust the idle screw and it's idling lower now. It's the smoke that mainly has me worried.
