I went to dealer today to recheck if it went back to normal...still doing it...and they won't let me take my car because service dept was packed with cars...
i guess... i have to wait until monday...
I hope everything dries up..by monday...so dealer can't say any bs about it...

I responded to your PM about this ... and I am 99% sure on my answer ... plus some others in this thread are backing me up on it as well. But dont just pull and dry the plugs -- dry the wells out first and then just replace the plugs.

Definetly sounds like water...in the spark plugs..My friend..washed her engine....and later took it for a ride..car stalled and was smoking..

Took it to a mechanic..tuned out water was in the spark plugs..had to vaccum out the water..and replace both spark plugs and the wires..

Dealer called me today, told me that my spark wires were messed up. anyway, I went to dealer to pick my my car, and they charged me $90 for testing... I told them I'm not paying any because no one notified me about those computer testing fees. he said fine, no fees.
anyway, I brought my car back to my place, I dried up the spark wires and spark plug wells as well. it was running fine...but few seconds later, when I shifted to driving mode... it was doing it again...
so I took out all the spark plugs and found out that cylinder one spark plug was blacked(covered with carbon)

out...
I basically replaced all the plugs(another 10K miles tune up).
now it runs fine, but now I'm afraid to drive around. whenever it shakes. or hear similiar noises. I get paronoid easily.
oh well, I 've learn my lessons and thank you all of you for supports!!! you guys are the best

Why so much carbon? You must be running rich. What kind of mods do you have? Is it Turboed? I would be concerned if you have that much carbon build up in such little time....
