So I started mycar from after a 10 hour shift at work. Blew some smoke and figured its prob a cold start thing since its 74 outside but as I begin to drive I notice that at idle I'm smoking and whe I rev it I smoke to. Not sure on the color since it is so dark out and light isn't working to well to see color. Car is driving but unsure what to do now?

Tune? Mods?

I'd check your spark plugs, particularly the #8. I know it sounds shaddy but I would not post the mods if there are any.

I'd still check your #8 again and have it looked at by your tunner or local speed shop.

Check the plugs for sure. Maybe flash your car back to stock and see what happens.

CEL at all?

Mine puffed a little smoke along time ago. Would also have a little come out when I let off after WOT. I have since installed a JLT catch can and have not noticed any smoke nor have any of my friends that follow me.

i am thinking about getting the jlt catch can, just noticed today when driving my oil temp seems to be a little to the high side, and when checking my vacume lines and what not i found some signs of oil on there so catch can is next on the list for me.

The stock oil temp gauge is little to non accurate. It won't show anything wrong till its to late. Don't go off that gauge.

No i do not, wish i did though

Then how do you know what the oil temp is? The gauge in the stock cluster is oil PRESSURE.

And it doesn't matter if you list your mods or not; the Ford dealer can tell that your ECU has been reflashed even if you return it to stock.
