Hello I recently noticed my 2014 Acura MDX has an excessive amount of white smoke coming out of the tail pipe only on cold starts. After the engine has ran for a while the smoke disappears and the issue doesn't happen again when starting after, but when I let the car sit for a while it then has the white smoke coming out of the exhaust again. The performance of the car and everything seems fine as well but have never seen this issue happen with my car before. I also took the car into the dealership and they said the car seems normal from their test, but I've never seen this happen to my car before and also other MDX that I have seen didn't seem to have this issue. To mention I also recently got the throttle body replaced about a month ago because of carbon build up, according to my dealer. Any thoughts?
What makes this problem better or worse?
Only on cold starts, after engine warmed up issue is gone. Smoke is back when cold started.
How long has your 2014 Acura MDX had this problem?
Hello, I'd consider it normal condensation and reaction to the local air / weather. I would not be concerned. Your dealership sounds like it's providing accurate information.
