When I bought the car a month ago there was no smoke but now I notice there is a little bit of smoke in the morning on start up. It does not smoke a lot but I do notice that it is getting a little worse every week. I know that the oil control rings can be going bad and that I will need a rebuild when they go out but is there anything else that can cause this?

is this blue or white smoke? the same thing happen to me. but now my car cant be driven beacuse all the fucken smoke. so it could be oil rings, or your coolant rings, either one, your fucked, need to get a rebuilt.

White smoke

 

i cant believe u have a FD!

yeah... how much you have saved?

how long ago did you buy it. possibly who sold it to you knew this was going to happen.

hmm. i use to have the same problem, my engine was flooding and running rich on startup. so i changed the fuel filter and plugs and it went away. but now i have a fresh ported motor its doing it again but thats another reason..

 

I just bought the car around a month ago and it only had 10,000 on a rebuild.

Dasani - I need a tune up anyways so I'll give it a try.

I'm looking forward to getting my motor ported with a single anyways so I'll start saving or just hit the lotto, which ever comes first - LOL - saving of course.

 

Bad PCV will cause smoke. Bad turbos will cause smoke. Condensation will cause what looks like white smoke, but isn't.

 

Thanks I will check the PVC and the turbos were also rebuilt with the engine but hey you never know right. I know the difference between condensation and smoke.
