My car started hesistaing this moring when I letting it warm up. It done it for a while then it was okay, it done a second time and it was okay. However, I started driving and it began running hot. I pulled the car over, popped the hood, and the it was smoking from the left side of the engine. I got back in my car and there was lite smoke coming from underneath the glove box. I got afraid and parked the car on the street in case it caught fire and it would not burn my house down. The car has oil and anti freeze. I want to know whats wrong and can it be fixed?

The answer is that of course it can be fixed. The next answer is tougher. I believed from the first half of the message that your problem was a coolant issue. I still believe that now but the light smoke in the vehicle does not ring true here. Does it smell like an electrical issue?
