i have posted my question weeks ago
but it still happened now
the car still blowing white smokes even after i drove it for 2 hours
its quite a lot of white smokes
if my engine burning oil the smokes suppose to be blue isnt that rite ??? but in my case its white
i checked my coolant , its still good ( green clear )
i changed my engine oil bout 4 months ago.
will it be from the old oil ? my thermostat also stucks open now , so my car is almost never reach the normal temp ( the niddle only rised bout 1/4 from the bottom of the gauge , if i dont drive it around it will reach the normal temp about 20 mins )
i dont feel any performance difference, i still able to pulled away very hard from my friends ef civic sir

I have a similar situation, mine happed right after i got my new exhaust so it may just be burning off some residue form the mandell bending but who knows.. anyhow now performance dif here either still hauls ***.

coolant fine
oil changed
exhaust smell like normal 93 octane full of hydrocarbs..(no cat)


Of course it could be condensation burning up from inside the muffler, cause after a few mins it seems to go away...

Do you have a catalytic converter? If you don't, sometimes your exhaust will let off "steam" when its pretty cold out. I've seen that happen with a friends car.

Cyber ITR

no i dont have a catalytic converter, i removed them and i put coby
RioNinja : so do u think its because i dont have a catalytic converter ?
thanks for the help man

when its cold out...any exhaust should let out some steam. Warm air coming out of exhaust...cold air...try it with your breath...breath and it should make some steam...What mods do you have VTEC?

this might sound weird, but that white looking smoke can be oil, a way to tell, is water will disappear almost as soon as it comes out of the tail pipe, but if it is oil the smoke will kind of linger for a little while. have you been losing oil?

Cyber ITR

my mods only air intake and pod filter
nothing else , even i still i have the standard exhaust but no catalytic converter though
no i dont lose oil
damn this car make me dizzy

Sounds like your running too rich, do you got an A/F moniter.......

Type Goch

if he was running rich, wouldnt he be spitting out black smoke?

Cyber ITR

i had the same problem on my GSR motor. White smoke is diffinitely oil. i was going through 2 quarts every 300 miles, if its gets this bad then it is something to worry about. when did you start having this problem???

do a leakdown test, you might blown your head gasket. your engine is burning coolant somehow if the smoke is white.
