Ok, I have a 1995 Ford Thunderbird LX with a 281 4.6L V-8 engine in it. There's white smoke coming out of the exhaust whenever I push on the gas,it doesn't use water,oil,or tranny fluid, so, this leaves me with a mind puzzling situation. I called the Ford company and spoke with a mechanic, so, I know that it's not the transmission modulator valve,because my car didn't come equipped with one, so, that only leaves one possible thing, oil somehow getting into a cylinder. What else could possibly be wrong with it? I honestly don't know, so, I'm hoping somebody can help me figure this out.
actually..thanks to everybody who answered, the water pump went out on it!
It's still hard to tell if it's water or oil, but it has to be one. If it's pure white and leaves moisture on your hand at the tailpipe it's water and that means a blown head gasket. If it is slightly bluish and has a burnt smell to it, it's oil. In this case it is either the fact the engine is getting old and it's blowing past the cylinder rings, or you have some bad valve seals (rubber grommets that keep oil from getting past the valves into the cylinder). Valve seals aren't as expensive to replace. To determine which it will need a compression check to make sure it's not the rings.
