Calgary,
regular driving pattern, no racing or mistreating the car.
Stopped for gas, it was way empty... (kinda hard to find a gas station with gas)
put in more than 1/2 a tank. Drove away nicely, normally.
Stopped at a red light, went on green and now blue tinted smoke is coming out of the tail pipe.
No check engine light. No lack of power. But rough idle and throttle.
Checked engine oil and coolant, all up to par.
Nothing is unplugged or loose.
Recently replaced one of the ground terminals for the battery, the smaller one that connects to the body of the car, 4" long I believe.
No previous history of problems...
Recently had timing belt, balancer eliminator kit installed, replaced crack bearings. All new gaskets. About 2K ago.

... any ideas??
 
Blue smoke is usually a sign of burning oil, but for it to appear all of a sudden is odd. Its usually a progressive type of thing.
