did a little cruising last night, and as the title says, i was in 2nd gear and from 2000 to 5000 WOT i noticed alot of white smoke coming from the exhaust... what could this be? at normal driving everything seems fine.
Since it was night time and the exact color would be hard to tell, perhaps it could have been oil burning. You should check your compression and do a leakdown test if its low.
Could be some condensation left in the exhaust vaporizing? Was it cold out? A lot of white smoke usually means coolant in combustion chamber. If it's just a puff when you gun it, not a big deal.
Most likely clogged PCV leading to elevated crankcase pressure and oil being evacuated through the motor - exhaust - voila, smoke. $16 part - 5 mins - swap it out.
