Why does smoke come from the tailpipe when you start the car and it gets heavier when you press on the gas?
If the smoke is white and it goes away when the car warms up it is condensation and normal. If the white smoke does not go away and smells sweet, you have an internal coolant leak. Possibly a blown head gasket. If the smoke is black, it is too much fuel and too little air in your fuel mixture, possibly a plugged air cleaner, or bad oxygen sensor or computer related problems. If the smoke is blue it is oil getting into the combustion chamber, either past the rings or the valve guides, try some high mileage oil to slow the oil loss.

Can a faulty egr valve cause white smoke from the tailpipe on a gas engine at first start?
Yes, a faulty EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valve can contribute to white smoke from the tailpipe on a gas engine during initial startup. If the EGR valve is stuck open, it can allow excessive amounts of exhaust gases to enter the intake, which may lead to incomplete combustion and the production of white smoke. However, white smoke can also be a sign of coolant entering the combustion chamber, so it's essential to diagnose the issue thoroughly to rule out other potential causes.
