White smoke usually indicates steam. I don't think a bad intake manifold gasket would cause it, but a bad or blown head gasket certainly would. More than likely it is a bad head gasket or a cracked head. White smoke means you are getting anifreeze in your cumbustion chamber (cylinder) and when it fires it is burning the moisture creating white smoke.
A bad thermostat typically wouldn't cause white smoke. White smoke usually indicates a coolant or water leak which could be caused by a variety of other issues such as a blown head gasket, cracked cylinder head, or a damaged engine block. It's best to have a professional mechanic diagnose the issue accurately.
yes it can. This is bcos when its bad, it instead allow oil frm d crankcase to be sucked directly in to the intake manifold, thereby generating white smoke.
Bad spark plugs and leads can commonly make the engine feel like its 'hesitating' or skipping a beat, often worsening in the higher rev range. However it is not the cause of white smoke. White smoke is typically associated with coolant getting into the combustion chamber. The most common cause of this is a cracked head gasket, which you will need to replace in order to rectify the white smoke.
if there is white smoke that is bad not as bad as black but still bad u need probley not work on ur car and seek perfesanal help..........for the car not u.........or maybe.
it would cause overheating but the smoke is probally coming from some sort of water or antifreeze in combustion chamber
bad head gasket
Most cars have a little white smoke on start-up, but a consistent plume of white hot smoke is caused by antifreeze leaking into your combustion chamber and being expelled as steam. This is a bad thing.
No. A bad head gasket would cause water to come out the tailpipe. You will see white smoke. Leaky rings would cause oil to come out the tailpipe. You will see blue smoke.
bad head gasket , warped or cracked head
absolutely! a bad fuel pump will cause your engine to run very lean in return gassy white smoke will flow from exhaust .make sure you use quality dealer part! don't go cheap you'll regret it.
Engine coolant leaking into cylinder. Possible bad head gasket.
