smoke out the tail pipe

Squalid23 1 May 2005 05:36:33
 When I start my 01 camry le after it has been sitting for a while,
smoke comes out of the tail pipe. What do I need to do to correct this
problem?

Don't start the car would have been my answer (I'm clueless about cars,
that's why I come to this group)

But a friend of mine says you may have bad plugs. Hopefully MDT, Bruce or
one of the other mechanical types will have your answer.

I think you need to mention the color and/or amount of smoke. It's not weird
to have smoke come out of a tail pipe as far as I know, but maybe you're
talking about a huge amount of it, or a strange characteristic?

You don't mention the color. Or how many miles on the car.

A small puff of blue smoke when the car is first started is an indication
that the valve stem seals are deteriorating, but I haven't had this happen
on any of mine until well over 200,000 miles!!!

If it is a small puff of white smoke, it is probably just condensation. A
small amount of steam is generated when an engine runs and is visible
until the engine warms up fully.

If it lasts longer than a few minutes at MOST, is could be an indication
the head gasket is going, but this is pretty extreme, esp on a car as
young as this...

 Excessive valve stem to guide clearance can be the culprit to (but probably
not on a Toyota). ;)

 As others have said, it could be valve guides, condensation or even a head
gasket but if it is only at start up, it is not something to worry about.
Rest easy.

If the valve stem seals or head gasket are going, some engine repair work is
in order.

 Is it smoke or steam? What is "a while"?

If it "smokes" in the morning after sitting over night, it's really steam
and is nothing to worry about.
