What Exhaust Gas Colors Mean!
FAQ produced by Trance4c

 

General rule of thumb - if your car blows consistently for 10 seconds any color of smoke, something in your car is not working right when at operating temperature.

Consider the following chart:

Blue Smoke - You are burning oil some how. Piston rings might be worn and numerous other internal problems are possible!
White Smoke - Generally coolant is being let into the combustion chamber. This might be the sign's of a blown headgasket. It could also mean either your block or head are cracked!
Black Smoke - Your cars fuel system is just dumping gas at an unusually high rate. Might be the sign of a stuck open injector!

Either way, I think if you have taken the time to find this FAQ because you are seriously concerned about a problem with your car, you need to go see a professional mechanic before you do more harm.
