Whitish smoke from TB? Hey all, not sure if this is a major concern or not. I was removing my intake tubing earlier when i noticed what looked light white smoke seeping from around the butterfly's in the throttle body. I pulled the accelerator wire for a closer examine and there was definitely some thin 'wispy' smoke coming inside the TB.
My car has 155,000 miles and appears to have some build up inside the intake manifold. No abnormal smoke comes out the exhaust and there are no other symptoms that would make me expect something major. I drove the car shortly before seeing it so I imagine its just the heat of the engine burning off some carbon. Any other thoughts though?
