				White Smoke & P0430
			 
 
			All,I had my CIL come on last week.  Checked the code and saw it could be the MAF sensor, O2 Sensors or Cat (P0430).  I cleared the code and it returned, after the engine cycled.  I bought some MAF cleaner and cleaned up the MAF on Sunday.  Yesterday, I reset the code.  This morning when I started the car I noticed some white smoke and could smell exhaust.  I have smelled exhaust a couple of times before.  This is the first time I remember seeing smoke.  It was a little chillier this morning, than it has been.  It was around 56*.  I was curious if anyone had any thoughts about the code being related to the smoke.
 
 I did some reading and white smoke usually means AOS.  I plan on doing the shade tree test of pulling the oil filler and checking suction on it.  The white smoke did clear up and I did not see it anymore. I will check and see if I see any more smoke when I drive it in around 1.5 hours.
 
 Thanks for any and all help.
