ok for some reason the smoke come from the exhaust looks normal like if it was a cold day but its a lil worse it speards out more then normal. But at the same time if your near it it burns the hell out of your eyes this will happend even if ur standing by the driver do looking at it... I cant figure out why it keeps doing this some day are good and nothing and others i just wanna shoot the damn thing lol. im thinking that all this might have a big part that the car sit's and maybe get started ever other week two weeks and let it run for 5-10 ....... thanks guys

I don't know much. But it sounds like a few things to me. You could have a bad EGR for one. Your cats could be shot? Idk

lol thanks for the post i didnt even think to check those lol..... that lil bit was very helpful... it could be my cats who knows wen the last owner replaced them... going to get a new egr.....

huh?? bad egr???? UMM NOPE...NOT EVEN.......bad egr if pintle were stuck open, idle would be rough.......egr is not the prob, try running a koer test and see if codes exist, if not make sure coolant level is full, coolant getting in exhaust could cause excessive smoke out the tail pipe

hey real fast mjr46 my car dose idle pretty bad over a 1000 and anything under 1000 if i step into it hard it bogs untill 1000 and is good after that thanks

ok i know took a bit to post the fixed results. but i put in 2gals on anti-freeze into the rad and the smoke went away no more eyes burning.. car runs great now thanks

OMG, two gallons. You have a way more serious problem you need to look into.

yea it was only a bit in there.... i did post awhile ago that it was leaking from some where but its not a bad leak at all... i did replace the lower rad hose a while ago and put bac what was in the rad but never really looked at it after that cuz i hardly really let the car run long or even all the time... right now i am lucky to start it maybe once every two weeks so it never really dawned on me to check it.. oo and wen i do start it its maybe for like 5 10 mins not long at all

5 - 10 minutes of run time with no coolant can be a real bad thing. Just keep an eye on your coolant level. If you do decide to run it around for a while, keep an eye on temps. Next time you change your oil, see if any water is in the oil when you first pull the drain plug. I would be surprised if it doesn't have a blowed head gasket or possibly a warped head. Just keep an eye on it.
