My 1996 acura 3.2tl while running and in park and when you drive again smoke comes out of tailpipe?

Water coolant in combustion chamber , faulty gasket or cracked head , loss of coolant.

If you have smoke coming out of the tailpipe, it's not likely the transmission. Smoke coming out of the tailpipe is an engine problem, possibly rings. Rings will cause loss of power, too, as well as increased oil consumption.

Hi Joseph, I'm glad to help!

When engine get a lot of miles on them the seals get hard and bridle and allows oil you slip by and it goes out the exhaust in at cloud of smoke. Here's a way to see if it is you "Valve Seals". When your driving it usually clears up and you have no smoke. Here's what you need to do after driving the car and it has cleared up, pull into a parking lot and let it sit and idle for 3 minutes. If a cloud of smoke comes out of the tailpipe when you take off, then you have bad "Valve Seals" and they will need to be replaced. Hope this helps and have an awesome day Joseph.

sounds like cylinder head gasket cheak oil filler is there a white gunky paste there also cheake radiator filler cap for same thing if so its a oil and water mix head gasket need doing

Coolant leaking from a bad head gasket

acura 1999 3,2tl .check engine light on ,my computer show code P0141 , 02 HEATER CIRCUIT, [BANK 1, SENSOR 2] please to help find problem .thank you

The small oil leak from exterior of engine would not cause the smoke from tailpipe that your describing, even though I would take the time to clean that area well & pinpoint where it's coming from and repair it. Having recently experienced same symptom on my 98 intrepid 2.7, I must ask this, do you make a lot of short trips with the vehicle? My wife drives ours & we recently had to install a new muffler, and when it was removed it weighed a ton from moisture build up inside from too many short runs. Mechanic said it was full of water (not coolant) . Although I had explained to her that making 5 trips to the store, when 1 would have done it, isn't good for the car, she still has to make numerous short runs per day due to work, and this is whats causing the excessive moisture to build up in the exhaust system. If it isn't oil & isn't coolant, then I suspect it's simply moisture build up from too many short trips. Is this possible, do you make a lot of short trips?

check oil dip stick for water/antifreeze and radiator for oil in antifreeze but usually alot of white smoke-steam from tailpipe usually indicates head gasket blue smoke means oil black smoke carbon

Are you loosing any antifreeze? If so possibly head gasket problem.

Black smoke is unburned gas. If the car is running fine besides the black smoke, it's most likely the Coolant Temperature Sensor. The part is roughly $20 and an easy fix.

PS- I'm guessing your check engine light is on...
