my white smoke culprit
 

i was in a delimma friday morning because of whtie smoke bellowing from my car when i arrived at work. MY CULPRIT...ended up being a connector that slighty melted, has this happened to anybody else? ive never had that happen with a car before.

Yikes!! What connector? I'm guessing it shorted on something? Or arced?

it didnt short, thank you rx7godmanlord whatever. the smoke was coming from here:

it moved back to wherever its supposed to be. what a freak accident.

Well, that spot is where your turbos are located. That could be the source ... weird that it went away after replacing a connector. Exactly what connector did you find melted? Sounds like a turbo issue ... but turbo issues don't go away. They usually get worse. :(

turbos...that is what i assumed it was at first, but the only abnormal looking thing from my friday morning episode was that connnector. i have not seen nor smelled anything since. its still in there like it is, i just moved it out of the way. i have yet to figure out what that connection is seeing as i spent the day at defensive driving school. DOH

What was that for? I'll take a look at it for you Saturday if you like. I had white smoke from there (or close) one time, and it turned out that a cooling line to the turbo went... And would open when REALLY hot... Then of course the smoke...

^^^cool. perhaps we can drive out to the other ofallon at the same time next saturday, what time were you planning on leaving? i was thinking right around 12 myself.

Other O'fallon? I'm probably going to be meeting up in STL at like 9AM so all the STL guys can follow me back to Fairview. Gimme a call or PM and I'll meet you somewhere and take a look at your car... Unless you just want to wait till Saturday...

no worries, i can wait til saturday, my work drive isnt too far.
