White smoke on start up? HELP!!!!
I just recently put a 3 inch cat back exhaust. I have a guru racing stage1 chip set running 15psi. I was wondering why after the new exhaust I have been noticing a puff of white smoke. the exhaust smells like fuel not coolant or oil. Does someone have any answers to this? I want to make sure that I am not hurting the car driving it.

I recently had a puff of white smoke that became a "runs rough for a few seconds". This was the first sign of a head gasket leak, coolant was leaking into #4 cyl. as the car sat overnight and then burning off when the engine was started. I hope for your sake that its just condensation.

But hopefully, that isn't your problem. Mine has started running rough on startup again for a little while, but I doubt it's the same problem again. Right?
