White smoke from a 2001 3.8
I just picked up a 2001 caravan 3.8. 194000 miles.
It smokes white smoke quite bad.(does not have a bluish tint either)
oil is clean.
doesnt smell like coolant. Smells a bit like gas. in park idling smokes a bit, when you give it gas I get alot of smoke. drive down the road smokes, but not as much as sitting still.
No check engine light.
code I do get is P0205 (#5 Injector control circut)
I can slightly smell fuel from under the hood
Has a small miss while driving.
Any ideas about the white smoke??

That code would defiantly be something to get looked at by a mechanic. Sounds like a running "lean" situation, or even a dead injector. I would also get the plugs and wires looked at and replaced if any appear to be fouled or damaged. . Keep an eye on your coolant level in the radiator, not the overflow. If it is dropping, I would have it pressure tested for leaks in the headgaskets or intake gaskets. Good luck!
