So; I'm krazy - may as well comment.

I have the thread on white smoke exahust.

Kicker: followed advise by putting Chevron Techron (2 btls) in full tank and ran and it has subsided and this morning (WV cold) it did not smoke - only the red check engine light comes on now but runs OK seemingly but temp keeps increasing.

As long as it runs OK I'm gonna try this tank and/or disconnect the batters to see if this will reset the computer.

I will wait a couple of days in case someone tells me it will self-destruct in 10 min so no one else will see this message. Still like Matt Dillon better. BTW; mine is a R129 500 SL. Considering a Jag.
