HI there. Yesterday she was cutting out in traffic once and the idle note wavered a little every 5 seconds. Could have been vapours. But I thought the exhaust was a bit smoky, white smoke. Parked.it up came back later and was back to normal smooth idle etc. Could It be a piston ring worn or is it probably fuel related? Can do a compression test and check plugs.

You worry about it too much...... Just set up the engine when it's hot.
