White smoke from the exhaust means your vehicle is burning oil. You engine needs to be rebuilt. There is no cheap fix.
no, if white smoke is blowing from your exhaust, it does not mean your car is burning oil, it could just be condensation forming in the exhaust. If it does this just on start up condensation is likely the course, if it's a grey/blue colour, it means your engine is burning oil but does not mean the engine needs to be rebuilt. Keep an eye on oil level, check how many miles/kilometers you travel before you have to top it up and how much you have to top it up. Type of car and how many miles/kilometers it has gone would also be handy. It might just be valve stem seals; try thicker HM oil, there's also a few oil additives you can add to help for that problem. It's definitely worth a try. It could just be a piston sticking a bit, some engine cleaner oil additive normally works wonders for this. Be sure, though, if you take it to a mechanic shop, they are going to say that the engine needs a rebuild so that they can make more money. It happens all the time, 70% of the time this is not the case.

NO
Is there a temp fix to get your car to pass emissions when a little white smoke is coming out your exhaust?
No, but there's a permanent fix. The white smoke means you have coolant getting into the exhaust. Which means you've probably got either a leaking head gasket or a leaking intake manifold gasket. Replace them, and that'll solve the problem, as well as increase the longetivity of your engine.

1989 dodge spirit white smoke from exhaust and heater core disconnected?
Could be the O2 Sensor located in the exhaust behind the starter. When those go bad it can make the exhaust have a white smoke coming from it. You can take em out and clean em with Carb Cleaner. If that doesnt help it needs a new one, a new one for the Spirit is only like 20-25 Dollars... might not be worth going threw the hassel of trying to fix the old one.
