Dont like me to tell you this, but sounds like you have a blown head
gasket.
Two choice:
1. Inspect the Head Gasket; Cause: head gasket leaking
coolant into cylinders
2. inspect the Engine; Cause: Cracked block
leaking coolant into cylinders.
Coolant is not a
flammable liquid, therefore a lot of coolant in cylinder creates
starting problem. You should check your engine and the coolant system
for this issue.
The first thing you can do is check the oil
dipstick - you're looking
for a milky brown color as opposed to a dark brown (normal) color for
oil - unless you've recently had an oil change - then it will be like
honey. If you don't see any discoloration - I would then look around
the the bottom of the area where the valve covers are located - the
valve covers sit atop the heads and if you have a "blown" head gasket -
you may see evidence of water/coolant seepage. You can also take the
vehicle to a mechanic, who can do a simple test using air pressure to
isolate a potential gasket issue.
Good luck (remember rated this
post).
White smoke nearly always indicates a blown headgasket or cracked head. Antifreeze is getting into the combustion chamber and maybe into the oil pan.....not an easy fix, but it is rather urgent....hope this helps...pappy
White smoke is almost always coolant(antifreeze) getting into the cylinders. You may have a bad head gasket.
