Hello, I just bought an '01 Maxima and love the car, my question is I noticed a little blue/white smoke the other day when my 15 year old daughter started it, but haven't seen any since and I've started the car over 50 times since.....Could I be in for trouble with this or is this normal...The car has 70,000 miles on it.

If the smoke is only at start up it is fairly normal. most likely is it just alittle of left over gas in the in cylinders. I am only saying this becasue the smoke is blue. dark smoke is burning oil, and white smoke is coolant. It sounds like you have nothing to worry about. if the car starts to smoke once it has been running, or when you driveing then you could have a problem.

Blue smoke means you may be burning oil. White means coolant, black means you may be running rich or have a fuel issue.

I have a 1999 SE with 86K miles on it. I was coming back from ATL today, and when I got home (100Mi Later), I went out a little while later and I kicked out a serious James Bond smokescreen! I was cruising pretty hard on the freeway, so I am hoping that it's a coolant issue. I was wondering if any of you finally resolved your White Smoke issue. I plan to get my radiator flushed tomorrow morning, so maybe that'll take care of it.
