My car runs rich and i know that is a little bit of my problem but....
about every few minutes i get a huge puff of smoke that lasts about 5 seconds comming out of my exhaust and then goes away???? then my car runs fine and looks like there is no probs few minutes later there it goes again... what could this be from the puff of smoke is huge and if there is a car behind me when it happen , i cant see the car by the time it stops smoking!!! why would this only happen every so often and not constantly if something was wrong i am not sure. anyone got any ideas on this? i got no oil in my antifreeze, no water in my oil, and my turbo is brand new so its not that either. i am thinking valve seals or ???? but still i am confused at why it only happens every so often what are all you other 3s people running as far as oil in your engines i got 10w40 i was just wondering thanks --------------------  |
