well today i decided to go driving and when u was driving (AFM on) there was nothing wrong well i decided to give it a little gas and i got a huge cloud of white smoke. im guessing it is a problem with a piston ring on one of the pistons that turns off when AFM is on

How many miles do you have? It could be a build up of oil in your intake. You should look into adding a Oil Seperating Catch Can like RevXetremes or Elite Engineering. It's a good idea to have one even if that's not the issue. About $150 and 20 min to install.

11,000 miles but why would it only come out when its using all 8 cylinders

2010 SSRS · 04-19-2010, 06:30 PM

trudawg660 · 04-19-2010, 06:32 PM

lol no they wasn't, it was coming from the exhaust. it completely covered a BMW with smoke you couldn't see the car at all.

It was just marking it's territory or trying to make the Beemer disappear...

Hillbilly · 04-19-2010, 06:56 PM

blue smoke= oil white smoke=coolant

RocketCutlass · 04-19-2010, 07:02 PM

Beat me to it, I'd check my oil and coolant if I were you.

trudawg660 · 04-19-2010, 07:11 PM

its white smoke

camaro5 · 04-19-2010, 07:16 PM

it's coolant

Let the dealer check it out.

joelster · 04-19-2010, 07:22 PM

That is NOT good. There are only really bad ways for coolant to get into the combustion chamber, and they always involve LOTS of labor to fix.
