Default Re: White smoke when car started

I believe whitish smoke is caused by engine coolant. You might have a blown head gasket and coolant is getting into the combustion chamber and combusting, causing the white smoke.. I had similar problem in my old car. It didn't do it all the time either.

Anyway, since it's not supposed to ever shoot out white smoke, I'd bring it into the dealer.

Also, keep an eye on the temperature gauge.
