I have a 95 civic coupe with a b18 swap. There is light white smoke coming out of the tail pipe. Then my car started skipping when I step on it. So I did a compression test to see if the head gasket our something is gone and while I was doing a compression test when I took the compression tester out after cranking the car cylinder 2 and 3 have smok coming through the spark plug hole. I have 180 psi in all 4 cylinders and I just really change my plus and wires about 5000 miles a go. The CEL is on its throwing codes 6 and 7 does anyone know whats going on.

white smoke is a good question.But your ignition coil could be breaking down,if sh thinks hard or starting while hot.White smoke do mean antifreeze though.Do a leak down test..

Check you intake manifold gasket because its the only other place coolant can get in without losing compression.
Plus:
Code 6 - Coolant Temperature
Code 7 - Throttle Angle (TPS)
