Sup guys, noticed last night that everytime i go on wot in between shifts i shoot massive amount of white smoke. It only happens when the car is in gear moving after in between shifts when i gun it. It doesn't happen when it's in neutral. Wat could it be? Blown headgasket (i doubt since i should hear/see it everytime), leak? If anyone went thru this problem or have any ideas please let me know.

THANKS!!

 

White smoke is typical of burning coolant in the combustion chamber. But before jumping to compulsions, bad fuel injectors will also cause white smoke.

Burning coolant may be diagnosed by marking the level in the reservoir.

Fuel injectors is more difficult - you have 6. With dual exhaust with no crossover you may get an idea if it is injectors 1 3 5 or 2 4 6. Smoke will come from one pipe.

Single exhaust or y-pipe is more difficult to troubleshoot. If you disconnect the catalytic converters the smoke may be coming from only one side.

NOTE: Look at the engine oil dipstick. Does it look like a chocolate milkshake?

 

^thanks, im going to mark my coolant level and see if it goes down later on today. Im also going to check my oil to see if theres any gunk in there. I am running with Longtube headers if that makes any difference.

 

K i checked my oil and it seems fine. My coolant level is really low, but thats cuz i didn't really fill it up when i flushed it couple months ago. My main concern is if this is a blown headgasket issue? My friends' maxima has a blown headgasket and you'll know it's blown just by sitting in his car at idle. White smoke at startup/idle and the car doesn't run smooth. Mine runs perfectly fine, cept for the smell similar to when i installed my tp got worse??? I got used to the smell and it went away, but when i started getting these smoke issue the smell got worse. BUt is there any other way to make sure that my car doesn't have a blown headgasket? That would suck LOL
