Default Question...

I have a 2002 GT with 78,300 miles on it. Today I noticed a little bit of smoke when i stepped on the gas. I plan on getting my engine bay cleaned by this guy locally. Is there anything else I should be looking at?? Also is there any type of maintenance that should be done?

change your plugs... The smoke can either be a small coolant leak for oil seeping into combustion chamber. Change your pcv valve as well.

you sure it wasn't "smoking" just from condensation?

since the car was cold, i would assume that the car was just cold and it was moisture that you saw.
