Smoking, while waiting at the light
Now, this is the first time this has happened. When I'm sitting at the light, a tremendous amount of white smoke started coming out of the back of my TII. Now I've changed my plugs wires, and did an oil change, so a basic tune-up, so anysuggestions why it would be smoking?

What year is your tII?...if the smoke is bluish-white, it could be an oil metering pump sticking open. If it's an s4, the rod that connects the throttle linkage to the oil metering pump may be sticking. Check to see if the rod is not returning to the down position at idle. If it's an s5, the oil metering pump is electric, and is pretty much reliable. If there is a problem with it, there is often a code stored and a check engine light on as well. If it's a leaking coolant seal, often there will be bubbles in the coolant bottle at idle.
