ok so far I have replaced CV axles, transmission (at least I got a chance to get a VLSD :-)), and clutch all within the last 10,000 miles, and my struts need replacing badly. Now quess what? when my car sits for a couple hours I get a large cloud of white smoke when I start my car, that goes away after about 30 seconds. My coolant level is fine, and it is still pretty green, not burning oil, so what can this be? can it be burning coolant and I am just not noticing the level difference? A mechanic told me it could be some kinda return line stoped up, any opinion on this? someone please chime in and tell me this happened to you and it was easy to fix. and if not please lend me some inight to what this might be. BTW the car drives great, with no noticed power loss.

 

come on guys, help a brotha out.

 

dont know man, wish i can tell you. but my max gots 190,800 miles right now and it still hulls ****. Nothing went wrong in the 10,000 miles that i put on the car. All but some oil changes Brakes gunna be changed within a week, and front rotors.

 

White smoke usually means too much fuel on your engine.
How does it smell? BTW, don't try to breath in too much as itz bad for ya!
Have you replaced the fuel filter?
I would go ahead and check the fuel pump, fuel injecter for any leak and fuel relay as well.

 

My '86 Toyota Corolla SR5 did the same many years ago, mechanic just changed the valve seals (.75 cents a piece X 8) and the smoke never appeared again on my back.
