There's a lot of white smoke coming out of the exhaust. It seems to be mainly when I shift. Also If I stay in vtec very long the CE light comes on. It says 1, which is the o2 sensor, and 22 which I think is the vtec pressure sensor. The car is a 92vx with a B16b and p30 ecu. I had to rewire the goofy vx plug for the normal 4 wire o2. Could my o2 sensor just be bad? Would this cause excessive smoking?

What would cause the vtec code? I already cleaned out the screen and it has plenty of oil.

thanks

Could the car just be running too rich or lean due to a bad o2 sensor? It pretty much just does it when I shift. It seems like if it was the head gasket it would be smoking all of the time. Also, wouldn't the coolent level be low if it was the head gasket. Because that seems fine.
