Are you sure it's actually white and not just the normal color when it starts cold. There's def a difference.

It's more of a grayish color.



How long has it been doing this and how long does it last? If it's white, no question, it's not a good thing. Coolant is somehow geeting into your combustion chamber. Are your coolant lines still hooked up to your egr plate. That or head gaskets.

Same here and it don't smell like burnt coolant, but then again I've never burnt coolant so I'm not really sure what it smells like. I hope that when I put my new intake on, the gaskets take care of it, if it is coolant. And it's never cold around here anymore. In the morning it's like 65 degrees.

When you say it puffs, does the car miss and then clear up?
