is the smoke black black, or more of a blueish?? to diagnose what smoke is the source of what problem, use this

White = Burning Coolent... bad headgasket possibly
Black = Car is ruinning rich, not a huge deal just using more fule then you normally would
Blue = Burning Oil, your piston rings are fried
