slight smoke on startup 2002 SE
I have a 2002 SE Auto. I have had the car since Dec 2001. This has happened twice since I have had the car. If I start car up for a minute or two to move it from one spot to another. Then if I start car again a short time thereafter I see a slight puff of smoke for a second or so. Cant tell its color. Is this unburnt fuel from the first starting. Oil level is fine 3k miles since kast oil change and level hasnt dropped so I guess it isnt burning oil.Like I said it has happened only twice in 4 months. Any thoughts on this, is this happening to others. Otherwise the car is perfect. It has 4k miles on it

Condensation in your exaust, unburnt fuel from the previous rich starting condition (cold engine) Don't sweat it, your car is fine, oil level is good and doesn't drop, check coolant level, tire pressure, use good gas 91 or higher, keep it clean, ENJOY THE RIDE!
