Hello, I have a 1994 Corsica that overheats and white smoke comes out the exhaust. I changed the water pump as well as the thermostat, but it continues to overheat. What do you suggest I do?

Hi:
The white smoke is an indicator that the car needs a headgasket replaced. Coolant gets into the combustion chamber and burns white. This is most likely causing the car to overheat.

Have the engine checked for a bad headgasket. If I'm wrong and it's fine, let me know and I'll walk you through how to identify the problem.

I hope this helps.
