anybody know the reasons for thick white smoke coming out the muffler? This is related to my other problem where one of the spark plug wires were bad, so I changed it and it works great. But when I hit a bump on the freeway I think one of the wires came loose and it was running V-5 for like a mile till I hit traffic, then after a mile in traffic I see white smoke coming out from the back and DAMN was it thick especially when I tried revving it, almost looked like I was doing a burnout. When I got to my destination there was still smoke so I just turned the car off. Wasnt overheated or anything, just normal temps. When I was ready to go home turned the car on then smoke started churning out DAMN! So I pushed in all the wires making sure the connections were good and yes it was a smooth running V-6 pummeling smoke out the back, but then I noticed after about 5 minutes or less of driving the smoke went away as if there was no problems. I was thinking it could be the gas from the cylinder that wasnt sparking but straight up im lost. Anyone?

I agree with pheonix. White smoke can be an indication of coolant getting into the cylinders and being "burned". This is very serious and you should have it checked TODAY. Check your coolant level before you drive again. Good luck.....David.
