new white smoke prob..

[turbo98eclipse]

well usually everyone talks about white smoke during launching or just regular driving..but while tuning my subs i left the car running to that the battery wouldn't go dead and while doing so..white smoke began to come out the car!! it would happen for about 10 sec maybe and then stop and then repeat maybe every 10 minutes...keep in mind the car was on and in neutral at the time..it also did the same thing one time while i was driving but stopped waiting to make a turn..same thing 10 secs and stop..car still pulls hard and all. changed the oil last week and plug wires about 4months ago...any ideas of what it could be?

Is it white smoke or is it steam?

is it coming out of the exhaust? or the engine? it could be a coolant issue, is the level staying the same?

Do you smell anti freeze in this "white smoke" ? I would do a hydrocarbon test on the radiator to see if you are getting exhaust in your cooling system. Like I said previously it's a blue liquid that turns yellow in the presence of hydrocarbons. Keep an eye on your anti freeze level. If it gets worse, you probably will have overheating to go with it as the exhaust will pressurize the cooling system and lock the coolant from moving through the passages. Hope you catch it before then. Just watch out for those signs. Good Luck
