95 in trouble

I have a 95 that is causing me headaches. I've replaced the back injectors and thought I had the problem fixed. New problem. White smoke coming from exhaust but smells like gas. I had a number 6 misfire. Figured another bad injector but it checks good. Checked plug that looked bad. Changed it and ran fine for about 20 minutes. Not sure where to go from here. The car has 105k

You could have messed up an injector o-rings when you put the new injectors in. I hope you did use new o-rings. About all you can do is remove the injectors and closely inspect the o-rings. And ditto for cyl 6 injector.

And how did you test cyl 6 injector? If all you did was check the resistance, then you only checked half of the injector. The mechanical part of it, the little valve inside that the solenoid opens, could be bad and doesn't close. You would have to so a injector spray test and very few people have a spray tester. So the injector on cyl 6 could be bad.

Could possibly be a bad coil. Not giving enough spark. Check your ohms. Have a gas analyzer show you which gases are high or low and will lead you close to the problem

White smoke is coolant.

Blue smoke is oil.

Does it only happen when you first start it up? after its been running for a while? all the time?

If the gas isn't too heavy, you will get white smoke, otherwise it will be black.

And if you ever break a compression ring on a piston, you will get white smoke whenever you take your foot off the gas.

+1. I will bet on o-rings getting damaged upon installation of injectors but the cylinder 6 is the front set of injectors...hmmm multiple problems here.
