That would be normal for my car. If I pull it out of the garage, wash it, then put it back in the garage, it'll generate heavy white smoke when I start it the next day. If the car is left running until it drops off the high idle then that alleviates the problem. A short drive aroundt the neighborhood will prevent the smoke too.

I drove the car out for a whole day on Sunday and started the car next day with no white smokes. I think I just have to drive the car more often.

Absent any other untoward engine behavior I agree. Be sure to let engine idle a moment before shutting it off.

If you get any other symptoms though with or without the smoking that's a pretty good indication something sinister is afoot.

Sincerely,

Macster.

Thanks Macster! I always make sure the car / engine sits idle before **** it off. ;-)
