    Usually, excessive white smoke can be the result of a blown headgasket.

    Is the car overheating? Cold weather will produce nice amounts of white smoke too for perfectly normal working engines.

    When does it produce this smoke?

    Is it when driving then slowing down, then accelerating again smoke happens?

    burning oil will produce slight bluish smoke.

    Open your radiator cap and look for foam, and try your dip stick, if oil is clear then its not sure you have head gasket problem.

    Its prttey fnuny how you can raed tihs eintre snetnece with all tehse ellters out of palce...
