smoke out of the air vents

[04lss]

I got new plugs and wires on the car and did a coolant flush. took it out for the first drive.
after i floored it, smoke started coming out of the air vents.

any thoughts?

I'm guessing it's NOT from an insane amount of wheel spin ?

did it smell sweet?

you mean like this?

I was kinda worriedon't the engine was on fire so I parked it before I could smell. As to wheel spin the things kind of a dog atm, so no

 

[ericspecullaas]

it could be something burning on the exhaust like oil.

 

[04lss]

Or coolant ?

 

[ericspecullaas]

yeah coolant can burn but it would smell like pancakes tho

Well the air comes in through the cowl on the passenger side correct? I would check under the hood at idle and revved up a few times to see any visual smoke

Wow guys, when you hear hoof beats thibk of horses.

The coolant flush cracked your heater core.

Ran it in the driveway at 3000 ram for a few minutes after It, got to operating temp, no smoke. I'm guessing it was left over coolant on the exhaust from the flush

For some reason this summer i was having the same problem, except i know there wasn't anything wrong in the engine bay because i parked it and checked shortly after... Still haven't found the problem so hopefully you find out what's up!

i think it was leftover coolant from the flush sitting on the manifolds. i ran it in the driveway for a while reved it up to 3k for a few minutes, and nothing.
The first drive was fairly short <2 miles

Yea so do you have puddles of coolant on your floor? If not , don't think your heater core cracked

Why do people paw their exhaust with dirty hands then wonder why there's smoke?
