Default RE: car smokes

Well this isnt the section for 02 Mustangs but Ill answer you anyways in case you mistyped the year lol. It depends on what color the smoke is. If its black then most likely, the tune you installed was really rich and that smoke is from the extra fuel. If its whitish blue smoke, youre burning oil. If youre burning oil, youll need to have it checked out but if your tune is just rich you can either try to tweak the tune yourself and change the A/F ratio, or take it to a shop and have them dyno tune it for you (which is better than a canned tune anyways).
