Ok, so I know I should be shot for letting me pony sit for 13 months and not even starting her up but when you marry the spawn of Satan and find yourself in the middle of a divorce you do what you have to. My question is why is my car smoking under full throttle? She runs great, starts right up and minus the fact that I can't get my intercooler pump to kick on and circulate water I have no issues.

I have been diving the car here and there for about a week now, it was just yesterday that I took her out to the highway to listen to that super charger scream and stretch her legs. I was lucky enough to have a civic with a fart can behind me on the ramp so I put my foot to the floor and took off. There was a cloud of whitish smoke and I was off. The car still runs great but the smoke? Any ideas?

If it hasn't run in a year could be oil from a bad seal, bad ring, white smoke might even be coolant from a blown head gasket. Hard to tell if we cant see or smell the smoke.
