Father/Son project
My Son bought a 92 es300 for $850.00, for a father/ son project.
Issues as follow:
1) Leaking Gas out the tail pipe. Stuck Fuel Injector.
2) White smoke coming out the exhaust, but no signs of a blown head gasket.
3) last but not least, can't get the computer to do a self diagnostic. when i jump the TE1 to the E1 connector the check engine and the O/D light just flashes. Oh, and where is the ecm located at. Any ideas on what could fix this would great full.

congrats on the pickup!
white smoke usually does mean blown head gasket. ur coolant is only leaking into the cylinders, not the oil.
if ur injector is stuck, the smoke would be black. so it's most likely not injectors.
if ur sure the pins ur jumping is the right one, the number of times the light flashes is the error code number

Thanks I think jk.I am leaning towards the computer. I was told the test ports were TE1/E1? It is getting way to much fuel. I can see it leaking where the exhaust manifold meet the exhaust pipe. I see it dripping on the heat shield.

EEngineer, I think you r right about the white smoke being a head gasket. Haven't seen any difference in the fluids tho. Once i figure out the fuel problem then I going to dig in to the smoking issue. maybe I can get it on a patch to stop the smoking cravings. lol
