Icon2 Help! please

Car: 2000 Accord Engine: H23a Vtec Blue Top ECU: PCB Location: Wisconsin

Ok for some reason I can not get this engine running right with car.

It is blowing white smoke than after awhile it is blowing light grayish/black. I put coolant and bleed it. What is the cause?

It also sat out in the winter so moister built up, I see it coming out of exhaust no coolant smell.

could be white from moisture in the gas, coolant, or because it's cold out.

is it loosing coolant?

generally, white smoke means(water) a head gasket has blown... but that needs to be confirmed using a compression test and or a consistent loss of coolant.

if you are replacing coolant, my vote is a blown head gasket.

I haven't even driven the car. so I don't think it would be a blown head gasket. also no coolant loss
