so, so much for happy ending thread.......
so, my mechanic dumps this fuel system cleaner in my gas tank and i forgot to fill it up to dilute it. will this **** **** up the injectors or cause white smoke and gas smell out of the exhaust? he also tells me that possibly the crank sensor might be causing the misfire issue cause it controls spark and fuel ratio mixture etc., etc. plus, i ordered 2 coils and he says he unplugged 2 injectors!!!! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! goddmanit, will somebody please help me to make sense of this $hit?!!?!?!?

Are you saying you basically had an empty tank and only had fuel system cleaner poured in it? How much gas did you have? I wouldn't worry about it, even on low you still have 2 to 3 gallons in reserve.
Well did he unplug 2 injectors or didn't he? It's quit easy to tell once you go look.

I assume that you are having misfire issues.
the fuel system cleaner would be one standard remedy they would try , or try to sell you. The only way you would get white smoke is if the pintil caps disolved. Not likely.
crank sensor misfire, perhaps. Because that controls spark. But has nothing to do with fuel ratio mixture, at least to the best of my knowledge.
coils could solve the issue I'd coils were the problem in the first place.
he unplugged the injectors to see if the car runs the same whether the injector is plugged in or not. If the car does run the same, the injector is at fault. Especially if the injector is moved to another cylinder, and the problem mover with it.
