White smoke after EGR cleaning?

[megandjasonkay]

After cleaning the EGR and chamber in resides in, Re-installed EGR properly and left it unplugged while starting up. Wanted to blow out any loose build-up before re-attaching the egr wire plug, I noticed an endless stream of white smoke. Is this the build-up just burning up (was alot of build up I removed from the chamber)? I noticed no cooland at the bottom of the chamber when EGR was removed. Should I continue to let it run until it clear (if it will)before re-installing the egr wires? 2nd EGR valve cleaning in 7 days!

Yes run it. Take it out and get it up to operating temperature and then see if the smoke goes away.

I got it up to temp. in the driveway and after a few minutes at around 3000 rpm the white smoke stoped but when I came back to ide it started heavy again. Also I noticed a sut and moisture spot under exhaust tip. Any help would be appreciated.

Whats the temp outside there? If its cold enough thats normal. If not it could be the EGR cooler

was it smoking before you cleaned it ?
