Question
Hello
I just purchased a 2001 Cadillac Deville with 131000 miles. When the engine is cold and you first crank it up it starts out with a little rough idle. When you accelerate,it starts smoking (white smoke with a strong gas smell) after the engine warms up the engine runs smooth with no smoke. Do have any idea what cause this.
Thanks you
Larry

What work or diagnostics of ANYKIND WHAT-SO-EVER have been performed on the vehicle trying to fix this problem ?.

| Comment | Thank you for the follow-up. Service engine light was coming on and I took it to my local shop and it is reading 6 different codes and he is trying to figure it out. He said that one or two things could be making it show the different codes. Thanks again Larry | ||
