lots of white smoke generally means a bad head gasket- but I am surprised that you wouldnt see any smoke at all, then see tons all of a sudden....

 

ive been reading that and also that it could be an internal coolant leak?? i hope its not a gasket meybe pete will chime in on this one
well this is gey cause i stil owe 2k on it meybe ill sell it for that much and get another car this i so gey
a couple of days ago i did have the wrong heater hose in and is blew coolant al over the engine...

 

Well, what did the smoke smell like? You had to have smelled something... Were all the guages reading in their normal areas? Any time something bad happens to your car take a mental picture, or have a post it note pad and pen your car wink wink to write down important info you might forget, camera/video phones help too.

I digress, the white smoke is definitly indicitive of something not functioning properly, and generally white smoke + coming out of exhuast = blown head gasket.....

 

im thinking it was smelling like coolant now that i think about it lol and i did try to camara phone it but it was so dark it wouldnt work happend at like 12 midnight

 

ok the car did start and stayed at an idle and the pipes were dripping coolant out of them. it stayed at a normal idle but after the car got warmer it satred spewing so much white smoke out the exhaust. i then tryed reving it up and then it bogged and wanted to die. then a little bit after i started hearing a curdle noise under the hood so i shut it off the noise sounded like sand in yer teeth er somthing and it souded like it was around the fuel rail area meybe ioll try to post a vid of the car if my fone will let me

 

here are a few pics
in one of the pics you can see the ground wet with coolant under the pipes...

I would say a head gasket blew, may also be a bad manifold gasket, but that is unusual. A compression test will definetely tell you.

 

wow this must be a big problem if pete is iffy about it lol jk... ummm ok how can i get it copresion tested? or is there a way i can do it myelf? also either way it looked like a new engine or a rebuild is needed right?
