KA24E running on 2 cylinders

[sijia10358]

Hey guys, I have a KA24E but its running on 2 cylinders and theres white smoke coming out from the exhaust manifold side. Do I need to replace my head gasket, and is there any DIYs on it?

2 cylinder = ECU in failsafe mode

White smoke means something that shouldn't be burning is burning.

It may be a bad head gasket or one of a thousand other things.

DIYs on the head gasket may be found in the FSM.

You should start by doing a leak down and/or compression test. You should also test for spark.

yes...could be all sorts of problems. compression test first.
