If you find smoke coming from the car, there may be a cylinder head
gasket or engine damage caused by low temperatures. The former due to
the cylinder head gasket is damaged cooling fluid into the combustion

the latter is due to the engine is cold the combustion chamber, with
drops of water on the inner wall of the intake manifold, etc., together
with a mixture combustion exhaust white smoke. In this case only improve

inadequate intake; carburetor out of order; no carburetor EFI car, it
may be contaminated oxygen sensor in the exhaust pipe, unable to gas
distribution The computer provides the correct information. These
problems will lead to carbon deposition valve affect the tightness of
the combustion chamber, resulting in decreased engine power, resulting
in decreased vehicle power, sluggish acceleration.
