Angry condensation?

OK I asked about the white smoke in the morning the other day and some replied that it is concensation because I am having no problems with fluid loss. Well, Monday morning I started "old red" after not driving her for two days and it was like a crop duster. My God the smoke was unbelievable. This morning the same thing. My neighbors came out of their houses. It's like Bagdad in the morning!!!!

After a few minutes. No smoke. Please don't tell me I need a rebuild and that the 7" of rain we had a few days ago is the cause. What do I do about condensation?

Ok, I won't tell you that you need a rebuild.

But that's not condensation.

my car did the same thing half the time, the rest of the time it would flood, and when i would unflood it, it would again blow tones o smoke for a min like that. If memory serves one or more of your injectors leak a bit so when you start the car mmmm lots o smoke
i could be wrong thoug, get a second opinion

Could I ask how many miles you have on your engine? Mine would smoke lightly on start up before it blew on me. The only time it smoked the way to described it to me was when it was flooded on me. If you engine has alot of miles on it, it might just be getting tired and you could be having lower compression on it. Does mean that you will be needing a rebuilt, just that your engine is getting old.

Anyway, see what other people have to say.
