Default A/C is bowing white smoke sometimes. But, it doesn't smell like burning smoke.

The strange think about it is on and no smoke. Then I turn it off and on again, then it smokes. But, if I turn it off and on again it goes away. I have a 1995 dohc vtec del sol. It has a crack cam seal. That I'll be fixing soon. But I doubt it's oil burning. Oil burns black. I do smell gas when I start the car and I always have the ac already in on position and never smokes. Should I be worried. I'll check in later. Please help.

You ever open up a freezer when the blower is on? I'm guessing it's just the initial start up and being so cold.

Wow! I never thought of that. I guess, I'll let it run to see if it disappears. I just didn't want to burn my car down. You know what I mean. Thanks.

If it's white I highly doubt anything is catching fire.

Your AC is probably running too cold. Next time it does it turn the temp **** a little warmer and see if it goes away. If it does make sure to keep an eye on it cause it could cause issues with your AC system if it freezes on you.
