Hey guys, about a month ago I had a couple friends tell me that my car was smoking just a little bit. So I started really paying attention to it especially at night when other headlights were behind me and I could see if I was smoking any. So I started to notice that I was smoking when I was first coming out of my clutch into 1st gear after I had been sitting at a stop light/stop sign, and also when I hit VTEC in 1st and 2nd gears but only those 2 gears in VTEC. So last weekend I let one of my friends drive my S (for the 1st time ever), I followed him and indeed I was right. The smoking is very minimal and light, most people havent even noticed it. The car hasnt lost any performance and is still running as strong as it ever has. I took it to Flow Honda and let them check it out and they've told me twice there is nothing wrong with it.

Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated!
Let me know if you need any other info.

Thanks,
Chad

 

Mine seems to puff out smoke when through VTEC as well. Thats the only point though. It annoys me cause it makes my car look old and like a pos

 

The smoke your seeing is your ecu richining the mixture as you go to wot. all s2000s do that. there s no stopping that. i have mine tuned with a vafc to 13 percent air/fuel ratio at wot and it still puffs a little smoke at wot. no worries, your car is fine.

 

Do you drive it hard a lot or just put around mostly??

 

If it were an oil issue, you would see more oil useage. relax, it's fine.

 

What color smoke?

black = fuel
blue/grey = oil
white = coolant

 

Black ftw!

 

Vtec Just kicked in yo!

The smoke that comes from my car is a grey color. Definately not white or blue.

 

maybe you drive like i do, just put around town and then once in a while open it up. all that shit comes flying out in a big ploom of smoke when you get on it
