why does my car smoke white?
yea i know when you first start the car it smokes white for a little, but my car does it for the past half hour or so. i mean i know its cold and all outside, but my car shouldve been warmed up after the first 10 mins or so.
i changed my KS, O2 sensor. what else?

Smell the smoke (not for too long stoner j/k) make sure it doesn't smell like oil or gas if it doesn't your fine, if it does don't light a match j/k If its gas your running rich, if its oil well your burning oil.... Duh! lol

Isn't white smoke a sign of a potentially blown head gasket (burning coolant)?
Or like ant said just condensation. drive around for awhile and see if still does it. If it's condensation it should go away eventually.

The "white smoke" from a blown headgasket is FAR more than what you get on a cold morning.
I've seen cars with blown head gaskets fill entire streets with smoke. It's not pretty.
If you've got a blown HG, you definately know it.

just look at it this way, if you exhale and it is cold outside you can see your breath, now think about exahaust gases, they should be hotter then your breath. I was worried about the same thing right after I got my max, so I see where you are coming from. Just in case check your coolant levels, if they drop with no visible leaks, then you might have a problem.
