Would like to ask, my car broke down on me the other day. I check the engine coolant level 2 days ago, I put in a court of oil in. An also filled the coolant to max. I don't no whats wrong with it now, the car wont start at all now. It has gas oil coolant an a new serpentine belt an a new water pump. I change the oil about a month in a half ago, an I don't no whats the problem.

All the things it was doing was?

No power
Sputtering
Lots of white smoke coming from the exhaust

Lots of white smoke means coolant burning in the exhaust, could be a head gasket, or cracked head or block, compression test the engine, and block test the radiator, this will tell you if hydrocarbons, or exhast, is in the coolant.
