If you can find the entire PI swap, buy it.

Otherwise, you can slowly piece it together to trouble shoot

(IE: buy the PI intake manifold. this will rule out bad gaskets and a cracked manifold)
if that doesnt fix it, hunt down the heads, too....

I know everyone always says blue smoke for oil, but I've had small amounts of oil put out plenty of white smoke.

Yea, it has a blue 'hue' to it, but for all purposes it's white. Looks like clouds following you. Black is fuel. Make a campfire and dump fuel in it, the smoke is black. Dump oil in it, when it gets hot enough to burn the campsite will look like Woodstock.

You're nuts man, your car looks fine lol....

Why dont you go beat the shit out of it for 5 minutes straight, park it at idle for a minute or two and then take a vid of you punting the gas, I bet you'll see a couple of blue plumes of smoke(common early 2v valve guide issues.)

My vote is nothing in your car is broken...

Tony I dunno bud you say your smelling coolant under the hood, which from my personal experiences is NEVER good. I had a slight coolant smell under my hood too, then when I tore it all down, my intake manifold is leaking from the end caps on the sides. In all seriousness it looks 100% normal in the vid, maybe a tad prolonged tho. If you do have an issue, it's in the minor stage right now. If it were the head gasket I would have to believe your coolant tank would be empty all the time, mine was on my old Grand Am, and your car would definitely overheat at least a little. Could have a cracked intake manifold, wouldn't be terribly surprised since it's common on these cars

see this is bugging my ass to no end!!

the thing is, when it was 69 degrees last week it smoked the same, lol. shouldnt be that much fn smoke under throttle.

but the smoke is def white right? i call it white smoke, i dont see blue...just pretty thick white shit. so heads and intake should take care of it imo.

Driving it daily would take care of it... You keep the car in storage, LOTS of condensation will build up.

Here is a pic of my car after sitting for like 2 months in a heated garage. After I took that pic I went and drove it to the Home Depot and it put on an insane steam show at every single light I stopped at, like a wall of steam behind me lol. Has been doing it for years. If your car isn't daily driven, I would expect this steam, especially in humid/adverse weather with sudden temperature changes.


(Notice the steam toward the back of the car)
