Was driving home yesterday and I had some white puffy smoke from the back of the center hood (by the windshield) and a slight burning smell in the car... opened up the hood and there a little white smoke coming from where the throttle cable attaches, not from the cable but behind it from that open area. I was only a block away from home so I pulled into my driveway and let it sit overnight... started it up today and it ran fine no burning smell... drove around the block and nothing.
Engine temp was fine and car never felt any different.
Seems ok now but I'm taking it to the mechanic tomorrow to check it out.
Anyone else have anything like this?
I'm hoping it was something like engine grease or some old oil dripping on something hot. Which reminds me, do any of you clean your engines? If so with what?
It's a US 2000 Focus 4 Door Sedan ZTS with Ztech and it's had all it's recalls done.
Thanks!
