my del sol puffs white smoke when i accelerate. Could this be a blown head gasket?

 

Could be anything.

When does it do it, all the time, only in the morning when its cold, only after you take a crap? when?

 

depends only like when you rev it up?? does it disappear quickly or hang around for a minute

 

it tends to do it all the time when i give it alot of gass it does it alot

 

that sux

 

yea when i rev it then it goes away

That makes no sense, when you give it gas its there but when you rev (which is also giving it gas) it goes away? Care to explain?

na what i ment was at idle its fine when i hit the gas it smokes then goes away as soon as the rpms go down. srry for the misunderstanding

 

you probably have a bad oil leak. dont know exactly what your condition is but i once has a broken piston ring and i had white smoke when i drove. my motor was burning oil.

you should take it to a mechanic and get it checked.

 

check ur oil level. then check the antifreeze.. u should get a good idea of what it is after doing that

 

ok thanx ill have it looked at i did a compression test and its between 110 and 120 all cylinders is if a ring was blown wouldnt it be lower on one cylinder? but thanx ill have it looked at in the morning

 

your head gasket is gone.

how many miles do you have on that motor ?

 

121394 miles

 

to check if your head gasket is blown...start up your motor and open the radiator cap to see if theres bubbles in the coolant.

Damn..

Where the **** did it go?

 

 

holy fucken '04-'05 batman these people just come up with **** out of their ***.

Simpe way to check you got coolent in your oil, or oil in your coolant?
Your overflow tank gets overflown?
Your car overheats?
You can do a compression/leakdown test

It's prolly doing it because it's just cold and humid outside, relax.

And no burning oil will not make white smoke. Water/coolant will do that.

 

if the white smoke hangs around for a bit, what does that mean?

 

coolant. does your car heat up at all?

actually, when its cold out there is more humidity. its only when you heat the air up (like in your house) is when it gets dry

 

listen to ABK!!! compression/leakdown test will tell u exactily what it is.....
FYI.....burning oil= blue .........white=water/antifreez

 

DAMN! my car just started doing this.
i drove to work on the freeway, got off the freeway, idle was weird,
turned off car, started it again, sounded like it was a WRX like it was
misfiring, checked plugs & wires, then left the car alone.
after about an hour it was FINE. no nothing. it was good all the way home.

TODAY...going home from school, got off the freeway, half way home,
THEN got a bad idle and that same misfiring with white smoke...

what is it? its pissin me off. it scared me at first because i thought i
had a blown gasket but it wasnt overheating and the oil/coolant was fine..
