a puff of white smoke...
came outta the tail pipes today on start up...this is the first time i've noticed it. what would this be? i suspect that i have an injector leaking down (previous posts)...could this be the burning off of excess fuel?? i've also heard that coolant can come out as white smoke...i'm just interested in grabbing some opinions. thanks!

Excess fuel comes out as black smoke (partially burnt), or if the car doesn't start it may come out as white - just don't smoke near the fog.
When the exhaust cools down it allows cooler, moister air to enter through the tailpipe. When you start the car in the morning that moisture is heated and blown out as steam. It normally only last a few seconds, unless the evening temperature dropped significantly. If the white smoke continues for more than a minute or two, take a whiff and see if it smells sweet or acrid, that could be the sign of anti-freeze burning - not a good thing.

Srmifer - are you still going to need that injector then? - sounds like it might be a different problem or no problem at all.
