My first problem is that when i strat my mustang when its cold i have to unplug the MAP sensor. then after it warms up i can plug it back in. My old ecu died so i got a new one and the codes that where on after installation where 41 and 91 basicly saying the car is running lean. please help me figure out this one. I'm new on the board but still would like help. thankyou

white smoke is burning water, any car will do this as the water is cleared out of the muffles but once it gets warm it should stop. if does it all the time you might gave a blown head gasket, cracked head, or block. check the radiator for oil and bubbles, check oil for water. it will look milkie if mixed.

You have both left and right sensors reading lean. This probably means you have a vacuum leak somewhere. Unmetered air is getting in somewhere and the computer is trying to richen up the mixture as far as it can go, but the O2 sensors are still seeing a lean condition.------------------

it smokes when it starts up but when it warms up it stops. But everyonce in a while it wants to back fire and it has great compression. 150 psi. in every cylinder. if air is leaking in or out of the upper intake manifold gasket will that cause my problem. please help

I suspect that the smoke on start-up is s seperate problem.You have a vacuum leak somewhere which is causing the "lean" condition trouble code. I had the exact same problem with my Explorer. It turned out to be the gasket between the intake manifold and the fuel rail. ------------------
