Re: white smoke from the exhaust, help please

Ok, so I did some more troubleshooting today. The white "smoke" doesn't seem to be a problem any more. I ran the car for a good amount of time and the smoke stopped coming out of the muffler and drastically died down from the manifold. I am thinking this was not related to coolant but related to the cleaning products and or dirt/grime that was on all of the equipment after being removed, cleaned, and reinstalled.

I have two new problems to keep us busy though.

Possibly related to the other problem, the radiator cap has steam that is escaping from it. I have been watching the temp gauge and this has not increased above 1/3 even after turning off the heater and reviving the engine for a good bit.

The Second problem is RPM oscillation. The rpms begin to oscillate during idle after I have pressed on the gas and return the engine back to idle. Thinking this is just a quick idle fix and not related to anything else.

Thanks again for the help.
