White Smoke

rockice · 03-18-2003, 06:12 PM

during acceleration my 97 talon awd tsi puffs white smoke from the exaust with a slight blue tinge it happened right after i cleaned the throttle body out and i also changed the valve cover gasket but did not replace the spark plug gaskets there is only white smoke when i am accelerating like when u really punch it not during normal driving conditions it does not smoke at idle tho anyone please help????

Also would low oil cause this problem

any other problems? Cooling problems? White smoke usually means you are burning coolant.

no my car is keeping in normal operating temp and the coolant levels are fine

I would check your coolant level to see if you are losing anyway.

He said white smoke with slight blue tint, so that means burning oil. Smell the colored smoke to find out exactly what it is thought.

it might be that you have a lot of carbon in your intake
try going to a shop that does carbon cleaning
