If white smoke is coming out of your tail pipe is is burning antifreeze. However have it checked closely. While it could be a head gasket, the 3400 is noted for the intake gasket leaking. Have a pressure test done before you pay for something that you don't need.

Also there is a way to permanently repair the head gasket if it is a real leak as long as it still runs. Check out Barr's Leak head gasket repair and follow the directions to the letter. do not skip any thing. It works I have repair a dozen cars with this.

Hope this helps

1999 Grand Am 3400 V6 misfire. replaced plugs, wires, injectors,coils Pull heads to check valves, good compression misfire at idle and goes away above 2000 rpm any help or ideas appreciated

check crankshaft and camshaft sensors. If faulty they may cause misfires, poor fuel mileage, stalls, hard starts. Make sure the ignition coil is ok, including its powers circuit. hopefully this helps!!

White smoke cuming out tailpipe 3400 v6

I would almost bet you have a blown head gasket or a cracked head. White smoke at the exhaust, loosing coolant, moisture on the underside of the oil fill cap, and on the dip stick are all signs of a blown gasket. The fact that there is no coolant in the oil does not mean it does not have a blown gasket. To find out for sure remove all spark plugs, disconnect the coil wire, and then run a compression test on all cylinders. If you find one or more with low compression you have a blown gasket. Do not drive this car any longer until you get this repaired. Serious engine damage will occur if you continue to drive it.

1999 heater fan

The Blower motor (heater fan) is under the dash on the passenger side of the car. there is a panel that has to be removed to get at the fan and can be removed with a small pry bar and patience. before the fan gets removed, check the fuses first, also check the motor by disconnecting the wires going to it and putting power directly to it (this will take some small wires to do). By doing all of this, you will determine if the blower motor is actually the problem. if the fan works when it has direct power, then the problem is someplace else.

No heat

The 3400 is notorious of the head gaskets blowing. this may not be in your case. Check the level of the coolant. Their may be air in the heater core. bring it up to operating temp then check the level.

Hope it is just air in the system not the heads!
