Okay so without realizing I had a terrible oil leak I made a 90 mile trip just to have it break down. It originally wouldnt allow me to accelerate it and then died. It wouldnt stay cranked. Had it towed to my house put 4 qtz of oil and 1 qtz of lucas treatment. It cranked but wouldnt even idle. I replaced the spark plug wires and the air intake hose because it had a huge gash in it. Cranks and kinda idles but if you try and give it gas at all it dies after you take your foot off the accelerator. I'm thinking I may have a vacuum leak somewhere but I have no idea how I would test it or where to even start. Theres a laundry list of things I've already replaced on this vehicle. It also buys think white smoke constantly and has for quite some time. Any ideas? Please help!

White smoke tells you that you have a bad head gasket! But after the trip you are talking I;m surprised it runs at all now...Replace the head gasket and then flush the raditor as most likely you have oil mixing with the anti-freeze now..... Steve
