White Smoke at Temp
Have a 94 turbo.
Yesterday morning was about 3 degrees. Truck started up good and ran fine. Smoked a little on start up but cleared up. When i got in there was know smoke at idle. All the way to work about 10 miles, it smoked white the whole way. On or off the throttle there was still smoke. More on the throttle.
It looked like oil smoke but when i got to work no smoke at idle and couldnt smell oil in the exhaust. Later riding around town it was fine. A little black smoke but nothing major.
Today for about two miles on level road it did it again till i hit a pretty good hill.
Im going to put injectors in this week. Would a bad injector cause it. Possibly leaking. No lose of power and egt's same as normal.
Also in need of the return lines as well.
Thanks Guys

Temps that low cause the water to form ice crystals in the exhaust.
It is a lot like the con trails of high flying jets.
You may have no problem at all with your engine.
Was the temp a bit higher when you were riding around town later?
