Default 2001 Mustang Cobra Smoke on SOME startups?!?

My cobra smokes mostly white but with a light tint of blue on about every 6th or 7th startup. Oil is not milky and coolant is super clean. Seems like its using some oil. Thanks for all the help.

if everything looks good, it could be sipping alittle oil here and there. Not a big problem though unless it starts doing it all the time and there's alot of smoke.

It's common for that to happen at start up and the reason is the crappy PCV system that dumps a lot of oil into the upper intake on the drivers side and the throttle body gets oil vapor from the valve cover tube on the other bank. When I built my motor at 59K the upper plenum was coated in about a half quart of oil, that in turns finds its way into the combustion chamber which lowers octane and could cause detonation and the smoking out your the tailpipes at start up! Go with K&N breathers my fellow SVT'ers!

Yeah I've been running K&N Breathers for about 6 months now with ZERO issues! I'm not sure how the PCV system is set up on your Mach1 gilomach but I didn't get any CEL's!

+1, I was told the same thing when I asked that question. It's the nature of our cars. But mine only does it when it sits for a while.

75% distilled H2O 25% coolant with a bottle of water wetter for this scorching Florida heat, clean your MAF elements, and if your fuel filter hasn't been changed in over 20K miles I'd do that too
