Black smoke is a sign of an overly rich fuel/air mixture. White smoke is a sign of coolant entering the combustion chamber. Most likely you have a blown head gasket. Other symptoms are loss of coolant with no apparent leak, loss of power, miss, oil level overfull, a white foamy substance on the underside of the oil fill cap. Stop driving this truck until you find the problem. Driving it with a blown head gasket will destroy the engine. A compression test will verify this.

    If you only have black smoke then you have an overly rich fuel/air mixture. Have this repaired or you will ruin the catalytic converter and O2 sensors.

1999 gmc youkon missing real bad lots of white smoke smells like straight gas done complete tune up nothing changes help

White smoke would indicate you're burning engine coolant. Black smoke is usually raw unburned fuel, and bluish smoke is oil. Has the engine overheated recently? Is it losing coolant without any external signs of a coolant leak? You may want to do a block check to see if you have a blown head gasket....

You need to smell the white smoke. If it is still burning coolant, the smoke will smell sweet and it will dissapate fairly quickly. if it stays like a cloud and doesn't have a sweet smell then it is most likley oil. When you changed the head gaskets did you check the heads for flatness? When you say it's not losing any coolant, how are you checking? do you take the cap off the radiator or do you look at the overflow tank? It doesn't take much coolant leaking into the cylinders to make white smoke. I would do a pressure test of the cooling system.

Started white smoking and losing a little coolant. Not getting in oil. no power lose. no sign of leaking.

if you are losing coolant and and producing white smoke from the tailpipe you have the classic sign of a bown head gasket. usually this smoke is accompanied by a bitter sweet odor. most common causes are severe engine overheating or severe misfire(flashing check engine light). take the car in for a diagnosis.

Camry smoke on startup

The key is the color and smell of the smoke.

IF coolant, the smoke is REALLY white and usually lots, and this smoke has a sweet smell. A pressure test may show some loss, and as well, often you get a little misfire that goes away.

If Oil, the color is white, but with a lot of blue, or darker...

Steam, can be normal. Remember that for every gallon of fuel you burn, you actually generate 1 gallon of water. Typically evaporates or exits as steam, and is barely perceptable.

I have a 1994 chevy s-10 blazer vin w with a 4.3 l vortech its white smoking with loss of power and is missing very bad

white smoke is caused by coolant mixing into your combustion camber which is burning through your exhaust. More than likely a leaking head gasket is at fault
