car jumpy

Well in low gears my car is still jumpy even after i replaced me fuel filter and poured "mystery oil" into my tank. Though it helped a little bit the cars jumpyness is still very noticeable. i also noticed that white smoke is coing out of the exhaust now, i did have my oil changed last thurdays along with putting and underdrive pulley installed. I had a post before and yall suggested cleaning my fuel injctor harness and smething about a brass bar . any one else have ne more ideas?

I think 'jumpy' is a built-in feature for 5-spd's in 1st and 2nd gear. My wife either lays a patch or stalls the car at least once a day...

what do you mean jumpy? like bucking in that specific gear?

What color is the smoke coming from the back of your car

White Smoke - Colant related
White with Blueish hue - Burning Oil
Black Smoke - burning gas.

Car bucks with a quick clutch release, also throttle response is more immediate in 1 or 2. No smoke is present from the back of my car...
