No, the engine exhaust is what comes out of the tailpipe.
Need to know why this is necessary.
You have an Exhaust leak, you need to get this fixed immediately. Carbon Monoxide can KILL.
Most common cause is a head gasket leak. This allows coolant to get into the combustion chamber resulting in the cloud of white smoke out the tailpipe.
No it shouldnt, it will however make it harder for the car to start... typically, black smoke from the tail pipe means you have an oil leak somewhere
White Smoke = Coolant in the combustion chamber, normally caused by a blown head gasket or cracked head. Black Smoke = Overly rich fuel/air mixture. Blue Smoke = Engine burning oil.
The white smoke coming out of a tailpipe is called steam. It is caused by water leaking into a cylinder. It can be caused from a blown head gasket letting water from your cooling system leak into a cylinder. When the gasoline and air burn, it makes the water in the cylinder turn to steam. The steam goes out your tailpipe with your exhaust gases. If you do not keep your radiator full, you will blow your engine. If you do not get it fixed, It will ruin your lubrication system and ruin your engine. Hopefully, you are in a position to make car payments. Can also be moisture trapped in the exhaust system if you make too many short trips and never get the entire system up to temperature. Blueish colored smoke would be buring oil, caused by failed seals or rings. Black or brown smoke is gasoline. caused by too rich a mixture.
neat time you fill your car with fuel make sure you buy some injector cleaners this will help the problem.
Bad spark plugs and leads can commonly make the engine feel like its 'hesitating' or skipping a beat, often worsening in the higher rev range. However it is not the cause of white smoke. White smoke is typically associated with coolant getting into the combustion chamber. The most common cause of this is a cracked head gasket, which you will need to replace in order to rectify the white smoke.
It will not become red uless heated
It is burning oil, probably something gone bad in the valve train, or piston rings worn out, either way you are probably looking at a rebuild. It is also possible that the vacuum modulator valve on the transmission is leaking, and you are burning transmission fluid in the engine. This would create a white cloud of smoke.
In the current F18 model that the Blue Angels use, the nose cannon has been removed and replaced by an oil tank. The oil from this tanked is pumped along and dumped into the exhaust tailpipe to produce a white billowing smoke.
Black smoke is an indication that your engine is getting to much fuel the fix in short is to find what's causing the excess fuel and to make the necessary changes or repairs. , EzForJesus If it's carbuerated, your choke is stuck.
