car is blowing white smoke from the tail pipe
 

head gasket maybe? white smoke means ur gettin anti-freeze in your combustion chambers, is there a way to tell?

well one way to tell...and the "tell-tale" way is white smoke out of your tailpipe.

Any overheating? ever?

change your oil. if your oil looks like a chocolatemilk shake, its a blown head gasket probably.

chaingin the oil tommorw or thursday, but the car isnt overheating and the anti-freeze is full, thanks for the replies! and ill let you all in on whats going on with it :worship2:

well look at the bright side, if it IS a head gasket, now is a great time to install ur pi intake and cams, lol. just tryin' to be optimistic....

that definitely is a bright side to it.

I would bet that your plastic intake has finally cracked. When mine finally gave it was leaking outside on top of the block. When my brothers went it was leaking on top of the Cop causing cyn3 problems. It just depends where it cracks but if you still have the cylinder 1 plastic intake runner thats most likly the issue.

i always look on the bright side of things, i figure if its 1200 hundred for head gaskets i mine as well just put a whole pi motor in there, i checked under my car for leaks and theres nothing, so im going to change the oil tommrow morn and well see from that

sounds good, yea while ya got the motor torn apart mise well do as much as you can afford/want to do to it..

White smoke can also be the result of unburnt fuel hitting the cats and vaporizing. If you oil doesn't look like chocolate milk and your car isn't overheating or loosing coolant, check to see if you can hear a gurgling/boiling sound inside your cats. Boiling gas under your ass is a scary proposition. Raw, unburnt gas will wash down the cylinder walls, corrode your piston rings and essentially trash your engine. You'll know for sure if that is the case if you happen to see a bluish tint to the white smoke coming out of the exhaust. That would indicate oil is leaking past the piston rings into the cylinders and getting burnt.

This happened to my GT, which was caused by a failed TPS sensor and corrupted PCM and I'd have to say, this is a worst case scenerio and requires a new/rebuilt engine to fix.

thats for the info, i dont have cats on my car tho its an o/r h pipe

so how does the oil on the dip stick look, do we have a milkshake?

changed it this morning, no milkshake which is a good thing, but i still dont no what it is :help:

Does the white smole go away after the car warms up?

Is there any odor?

Have you checked the intake for the crack they all get if you dont have a metal crossover? only other thing i can think of at the moment.

Same thing I said and most likly.

when im driving and i put my foot on the gas it comes out, and it smells like shit, i checked over the intake and its not cracked anywhere

I wonder!
 

If its mainly happening when you start up I would bet its a stuck or broken lifter. That happened to my wifes camry ( smoked like hell on start up but then ran fine). Her dad who is a mechanic by trade said something alnog the line of... When the lifter is stuck open at shut off, the oil is free to run down and settle on the piston. Start the car... it burns off....= white smoke. But.... I have been wrong before :t:

i thought oil was a bluish smoke?

yeppers, oil is blueish, fuel is black, and coolant & or water is white.

describe this "shit" smell...does it smell like sulfur? (rotten eggs)

or sweet smelling? If it is sweet smelling it is coolant. If is is sulfur odor, then I think it is a cat problem, but i am not sure.

yup, sulfur is cat problems..
