figured some of you may know, the cavalier shat the bed today so i had to get the grand prix out early. anyways, exhaust is steamy. no secret sauce in the crankcase and no oil in the antifreeze, could it be the dreaded 3800 intake manifold problem?

That, or water in the exhaust from condensation. Or, you could have asshole friends like I did (notice I said DID) and someone could have filled your exhaust with water from a gardens hose. Assholes. Is it nonstop or what? Does it smell like coolant? How's it taste? Where Sam dammit. He will know.

smells like a badly tuned snowblower

We get 5"s of snow a year lol. I'm gonna guess it smells rich? Does it smell sweet? Dammit Sam where are you

My Cherokee does the same thing for about 20 minutes after startup. I think it's just condesnsation in the cat. It's not there in warmer months.

Bad temp sensor causing overfueling?

The problem started on the assembly line.

I can assure you that neither companies would employ you.

Anyways Nostra, If you don't think its condensation, I would get your exhaust checked out.

its not condensation, it was mildly steamy in the summer. but the coolant level seems fine, thats the odd thing.
