okay well i bought a 1994 ranger changed head gaskets and dumped oil and cleaner ... put back to gether and its fine apart from when i first start it up it seems to misfire but when i start going its fine ... sometimes when i am at a stop i try to accelerate but it stalls or it just stalls after i attempt to make a stop any ideas that anyone can help me :D please ... i also throws white smoke but stops when i drive for 3 mins ( does this almost everytime when its cold , im thinking its the minor antifreeze that is still in engine from flush gonna change oil in 3 weeks hopefully this will stop minor white smoke)
 
well cables and spark plugs seem to be new like the previous owner changed em .. gonna check the cap and rotor .. i need to rent a fuel pressure reader thanks any more advice
 
thanks for all your help .. i had gone uphilll on the freeway and the car started bogging and loosing power ... got off freeway waited till it got cool drove it had absolutely no power and started knocking ... i have no money and my cars motor just died what luck
 
when you replaced the head gaskets, did you have the heads magnifluxed? did you replace the head bolts? did you follow the proper torque sequence and torque to the proper final torque setting?

white smoke is burning antifreeze, meaning somehow antifreeze is/was still getting into the cylinders. it possible that your head gaskets werent the original problem, but rather a cracked head.
