    Default Smoke & Bad Smelll..

    Ok so ive recently done a tune up on my car along with spark plugs
    and i notice that sometimes when i downshift or i take off in first gear SOMETIMES it lets out smoke "white" or when its warming up in the morning it smells a little like smoke coming from the exhaust
    & btw i have a catback from the catalytic back..

    White smoke is usually fuel, blueish is oil. ( if I am not mistaken) White could also be coolant, does it have a sweet or distinct smell?
