On a couple occasions, my car has puked a bit of white smoke. Seems to usually happen when I stab the throttle after it's been running for a while. It never was too bad, so I've ignored it- until now. Yesterday, after driving the car home about 45 minutes in traffic, I backed it into the driveway and let it idle while I moved trash cans so I could get it into the garage. My driveway has a bit of a slope to it, if that matters at all.
Anyway, I got back in the car after maybe a minute, and gave the throttle a blip as I slipped out the clutch to get the car moving and avoid rolling down the driveway. I was greeted with a thick plume of white smoke, but it went away immediately- as in, it didn't continue to belch smoke, only right off the tip-in.
The car has just under 90K on the odo, so I can't imagine I'm having a lot of cylinder wear/ blow-by. I have NOT done a compression test. I HAVE always been good about running synthetic oils and doing oil changes.
I DO have a somewhat rigged vacuum line/PCV system that I fabbed up when I installed the Explorer intake. I'm really hoping it's just a PCV issue.
Thoughts? Sorry for the long winded post.
