Smoking, while waiting at the light
Smoking, while waiting at the light
Now, this is the first time this has happened. When I'm sitting at the light, a tremendous amount of white smoke started coming out of the back of my TII. Now I've changed my plugs wires, and did an oil change, so a basic tune-up, so anysuggestions why it would be smoking?
do this to check

2) Let car sit overnight, full of coolant. THe next day, remove your EGI fuse. Crank the car for about 1 second, about 6 rotations. Remove all your plugs and check for water deposited on them. ANy water = coolant pooled in engine combustion chamber.

mine does the same after idling for a while but mines bluish white but plugs are fine and it goes away after reving up or just start to drive stays if you dont touch the gas
What year is your tII?...if the smoke is bluish-white, it could be an oil metering pump sticking open. If it's an s4, the rod that connects the throttle linkage to the oil metering pump may be sticking. Check to see if the rod is not returning to the down position at idle. If it's an s5, the oil metering pump is electric, and is pretty much reliable. If there is a problem with it, there is often a code stored and a check engine light on as well. If it's a leaking coolant seal, often there will be bubbles in the coolant bottle at idle.
