You may have a problem with the fuel/air mixture. Your engine may be running way too rich. The raw fuel is being dumped into the exhaust manifold and burning there. But I think you may have a burned or leaking exhaust valve or two on one side, or poor combustion due to bad wires, plugs etc.
If you aren't hearing a lot of exhaust noise and you're just getting smoke, you have either an oil leak or antifreeze leak that is getting on the exhaust manifold. If you're getting oil on the manifold you have a fire hazard and should take care of the problem immediately. If you hear exhaust gas leaking around the manifold you need to replace the gasket or possibly the manifold is cracked and you need to replace the manifold.
Just downstream after the exhaust manifold
It is very hard.
Most oxygen sensors are in the exhaust pipe....between the exhaust manifold and the catalytic converter.
i had the problem with my 97 f150, the power wire to the computer had melted on the manifold and had to be replaced, check the wire to see if its grounding out
On the passenger side, way back, under the exhaust manifold.
UNDER HOOD, DRIVER SIDE, LOWER ENGINE AREA, BELOW EXHAUST MANIFOLD FLANGE, MOUNTED IN EXHAUST PIPE
I can, yes. You? Try it and we'll see.
on the passenger side underneath the cab. in front of the cat. where the exhaust manifold comes together.
Intake manifold gasket may be leaking - check for loose bolts or replace fasket.
yes, most cars are not fitted with gaskets when manufactured. as you remove the exhaust manifold bolts the metal on both ends tend to warp and are not true to each other, therefore requiring a gasket to seal any potential leaks from the metal being distorted
They are located on the passenger side. Sensor1 is right past the exhaust manifold, and sensor 2 is after the cat.
