My '07 has about 140k miles on it now. I've noticed recently that it smokes A LOT at startup, but at random. It will sit all night and start up clean in the morning, but if I let it sit a few hours it will smoke (but, again, not all the time). It's bluish, white smoke that does not smell like oil.
I took a 200 mile trip today with my step son behind me. He let me know that the thing was smoking really bad at random. I watched it and it turns out it's the transition from V4 mode to V8 mode. But at random. An easy, light throttle transition is okay. But if it goes to V4 and I need to suddenly switch to V8 it would billow smoke. It got better as the trip went on, but obviously there's an issue somewhere. Oil consumption isn't any worse than it's always been since I got it with 80k miles on it.
I did get a TPS error a couple of months ago but after clearing it a few times with a code scanner it hasn't come back.
Any ideas?
