i rarely drive my civic maybe 3 times a month tops 7 but the other day i took it out to play and was on the highway when i noticed a lot of smoke comming out the back after i hit about 80mph or 90 then i slowed down and no smoke, and then i stop at a light and take off again and a big ass cloud of smoke came out , and i am wondering what could be the problem or whats happening after that big smoke out the car went back to normal but im concerned on what it did any idea whats up with it .....Please help me out Thanks..........Peace

valve stem seals. Do this test, accelerate in the car, then let off. let it coast down. coast down for like 2500-3000 rpms, then blip the throttle, if you see smoke, its valve stem seals/PCV.

if it smokes on acceleration its Piston rings.

What color is the smoke,does it smell like oil?

the smoke i think was mostly white and it smelled like oil just for less than 15seconds, as soon as i got home i reved to 5000rpm to see if anything would happen but nothing happen , but ill try that test tomorrow and see what happens,........Thanks .....Peace

might have gas/oil in the exhaust? After i wrecked my teg and it sat for like 4 months when i brought it home from the body shop it smoked for like 2 days then quit. i could be wrong tho.
