Sounds like your fuel injectors need to be checked. Had a LeBaron with the same problem, Chrysler had issued a recall but dealer never told me when I came in for service. Got my $300 back finally. Check with a Saturn dealer to see if they can suggest something. Had a celica that did same thing. The temp sensor was reading 20 degrees F. Computer was choking down engine. Had sensor changed and car runs great. Toyota dealer couldn't find problem. Used machanic guru in local shop.
Please describe your problem more? When is there water in the exhaust? When the car is cold, hot, just started, after running for some time?
I have the same problem. Either low pressure on fuel pupm or one of the injectors is leaking overnight. Im sure once you get it started it always starts
Those are two different problems... If it's smoking in traffic, it could be from many things... If the smoke is coming from under the hood, you might have an oil leak that is dripping onto the exhaust. If it's smoking from the tailpipe, odds are, your rings / compression is gone and the oil is blowing by the rings and getting burned.
My mechanic (who I trust) replaced my O2 sensor and exhaust manifold and the problem went away.
I have a problem. I just bought a used 1995 Kawasaki 220 Bayou. The engine started running a little rough at first. Kept getting worse and then started backfiring through the exhaust. I had the carbeurator rebuilt but still runs rough and backfires. Cranks good and idles good. What could be my problem? Thanks

Depending where the fire started. Inside the car its probably a wiring problem. Under the hood it could be wiring or a fuel system failure (leak). If under the car (carpet inside caught fire) the converter or exhaust component could have plugged up, overheated the floor and started the carpet on fire. These are all just guesses, see where the fire started and whats around it to find the problem
Try the idle control
That is fine. Its just the hot exhaust meeting the cold air. When it smokes on warm days on start up, then there is a problem, and if it does that then its probably the injectors going bad.
Check the exhaust for oil on it. A leak is most likely blowing onto the exhaust and burning off.
if it will run for awhile then die, and start back up after sitting awhile , it's probably a cloged fuel filter.
I don't know but i have the same problem and have been replacing anything to no avail now that its cold its even worse.
