I just noticed this morning i'm getting occasional smoke (not alot of it, but enough for everyone on the road to notice behind me) only during hard acceleration, and it does not happen all the time. smoke appeared to be bluish in color, but definitely not black or white. checked coolant level- still full, checked oil level- still full.
whats also interesting about this is that when it smokes, it sounds like it's detonating only for two or three seconds, then it clears up while still accelerating hard at both part throttle or WOT.
i thought i had gotten rid of my detonation problems, but they seemed to have come back (or maybe conditions that influenced it had come and go). funny thing is that the car still performs very strong with no driveability problems.
and again, no fluid losses (coolant and oil), using exxon 93 octane, and I DO NOT HAVE EGR as someone insisted that i did before. My pcv valve is working (i think- it's not stuck or gummed up), and i verified and corrected any vacuum leaks i found.
The question is what would cause intermittent smoking (blue smoke) only during hard acceleration with detonation only while it's happening??
