it happens more at operating temp. i just went out and messed with it and the is alittle bit of water coming out of the exhaust. so maybe it is the headgasket. the oil looks fine though. it is just a very little bit of white smoke

im starting to think that also. would a headgasket leak cause my idle to rev the bouce a little bit when i unplug the iacv? i thought when you unplug the iacv you idle should drop and almost die
