Car is smoking.
Hey,
So around noon i went to check my mailbox which is down the street. i drive down and romp on it. I get back my roomate tells me there was white smoke coming from my exhaust.
So i start the car up and have him rev the engine, sure enough there is white smoke coming out of my driver side tailpipe.
think im running lean? if so, how do i correct that?
Mods-
K&N FPIK CAI
Motive 4:10
Catback, no mufflers
Diablo Sport tune

white smoke is water/coolante evaporating. could be condensation could be gasket. drive it for awhile let the pipes get nice and hot and see if it still does it, if it does its not condensation as that goes away once the motor is warm as well as the exhaust.

yea....white smoke is really never a good thing, and it happens when you romp on it...crap.
Has your coolant level changed? could be a small leak, somewhere crossing over getting into a piston or two and white smoking it out. man that sucks.

My mods include K&N FPIK, 4:10's(which they wont see), Exhaust (which isnt a part of the problem) and Diablo tuner (which i can throw the stock tune on) and springs and rims and such.
Nothing really done to the engine.
So, i dont think i will have any trouble getting it fixed under warranty.
