Car Smoking
I am working on my mothers car. It is a 1989 Nissan Stanza, with a 4 cyc. After changing the spark plugs, the car would start to smoke when you would start it up. It dosen't matter how long you leave it running it still smoke pretty bad. Could this be a problem with the rings???

If it's white and sweet smelling smoke, smelling like syrup, it's a blown head gasket. In such case, pitch the car, these are not worth bus fare at this stage of the game in all honesty. A reman head will be somewhat costly for this applicaton.
Blue smoke out of the tailpipe is oil burning. Generally, it's indicative of internal engine issues. Engine rebuilding time

We brought the car to a mechanic. He found on of the injectors was clogged, and on of the cyclinders was not firing. He cleaned the injector and it quit smoking for a while. It has started to smoke again. The smoke smells like gasoline. Could it be the same problem that the mechanic suggested????? This is really mind boggling.

If the vehicle smells of raw fuel out of the tailpipe, that is burning too rich. Generally, the smoke would be black, not white.
Was a compression test done on the engine by the mechanic? You may want to bring it back there and have him check his work again. Might have a bad fuel injector.
These Nissans aren't worth 50 cents when they get old. Very troublesome and expensive.
