White smoke at idle?

[benefitx]

ok so ill be driving my car , no smoke...as soon as i come to a stop , there will be white smoke everywhere...sometimes its thick sometimes not...its getting progessively worse i think...

i dont think its the headgasket because i have a cometic...

turbo going out? running rich? dont know...



also my car shakes like hell at speeds of like 45-60, its unbearable...allignment maybe? new tires?

white smoke is always coolent if it was the turbo it would be blue.

Isnt there a thread on here about how the cometic gaskets suck on the SR'S?

sounds like the headgasket, because when you come to a stop and its building up...Yet I have never had a problem with cometic head gaskets..have installed 6 including my own car on sr's 1 on my s2000 and 1 on a 500whp civic...

As far as the vibrations check all of your front suspension...tie rods,tension rods ect..

I get smoke like that through my AC sometimes I dont really know what it is but it stops really quickly.

When I first got my car the wheel would shake like crazy after 60mph I got the front end realligned and it stopped.

i have this same problem and i am trying to figure out if its head gasket or valve seals....

when i drive no smoke...when i stop white clouds come out!

and i have a cometic...but i havent heard anything bad about them....

i only know white smoke means lean, black smoke means rich, blue smoke means burning oil.
