I have a 89 coupe with a single cam motor. When your cruising its good doesnt really bog or anything. But when you press hard on the gas like full throttle it bogs and doesnt get fuel then White smoke comes out the exhaust. Any ideas?

could be multiple problems, start with the easy ones, like maf check to see if your maf is in working order. you gonna have to look at the fsm to see how to check the maf.
white smoke, usually happens when you have blown the head gasket. you can check at the radiator neck, if you see chocolate brown in there, then it would be safe to say that the h.g is blown. you can also have white smoke when you first start you car in the morning, this means that you have condensation in the pipe, and after awhile it should clear up which is normal.
hope thid helps

no just pop off the cap and look inside if your headgasket is blown there will probably be oil in your radiator, or check the oil and see if you have coolant in there.
