That's common... Mine does it sometimes. Just make sure its not WHITE and really SWEET smelling... (no not CUM silly!)

blue is always bad if it continues to do it after the engine has been heated up ( couple minutes ). it happened to my car and i posted here, long story short i was driving to court ( go figure ) and a truck driver told me as i was driving i was blowing smoke like hell ( i couldnt see it i have wierd tints in back that block out the smoke ).... well its now 5 months later and still no fd... hmm.... be careful.

probably just burning some extra gas or something, most car will puff out some smoke after not being started for a while, and from what people keep mentioning about "first start in a while" and whatever they all seem to smoke, but if you start it again tomorrow and it does it you may want to be safe rather then sorry and look a bit deeper into it, ya know?

well...if its the coolant seal.....i have a warranty...AND I GET THE STREETPORT(echo's)!!!!!!!!!!

JimmyJimboJet 01-26-2003 01:31 PM

how long has it been since you last started her up?

i don't think it's anything to worry about. plus it's cold out

1Revvin7 01-26-2003 03:12 PM

its normal, especiall when its cold and it has sat for a while, water builds up in the gas tank and lines, ya know condensation.

rx7machine 01-27-2003 12:36 AM

What's wrong with the car if it has white smoke? j/w

Dumbrotorkid 01-27-2003 12:49 AM

coolant seal...i believe

tfhuth 01-27-2003 03:24 PM

Yep! Water and Coolant burning. Not good. Antifreeze has a sweet smell when it burns. That's what the other guys are warning you about.





How'd you like all that SNOW over the weekend????

if its blue at the beggining and oil drops after a week er so, then it's the "oil control rings" blue is always a bad thing as well... it can be kinda fun to see your car "on fire" when it smokes as much as mine did after startup

this weekend blew balls...freezin my ass off...beater still wont start..but i did have a little fun..took the car to akron and had my way with a firebird.hehe :twisted:

r_xplicit 01-27-2003 11:46 PM

hey dumbrotorkid....i do not think, however, not seeing your condition personally, that it is anything debtrimental to the car. remember, there are small doses of oil in the injection cycle and more if you premixed at one time or another, and this is simply oil burning off. if it billows and is plainly white, then there is a coolant leaking issue somewhere, but until that happens, just warm up the car an drive it a mile or so, and the smoking should subside. my car smokes on every first [cold] start and until it is warmed up, will put a puff out under acceleration when first driven...
