firstly, im pretty ignorant when it comes to automotive mechanics so please bear with me...

when i first start my 04 crossfire and i let it idle i noticed that its exhaust is white almost like smoke. doesnt look like smoke other than it has color to it. it isnt "pillowy" like smoke, doesnt smell like smoke and it dissipates when it is about 2 feet from the exhaust pipe. i started it up this morning and it did it for a few minutes, then i drove to work, let it idle, went back there to check and nothing, no coloration at all.

is this normal?

also, if it matters, it was 89 degrees this morning.

 

Sounds like codensation to me, this is normal if it stop after the exhaust heats to temperature.

 

thanks, good to hear...this forum is such an asset to have.

 

I noticed the same thing yesterday when I backed the Roadster out of the back garage (She's a weekend/fair weather runner). Think it's a combination of running rich on initial start-up and condensation. Soon as she warms up it's gone!

 

I'm having the same experience in the morning when I first start the car. Didn't notice it until weather got cooler. I just bought mine in July 09 and it's an 07 Crossfire Limited Roadster.
