HELLO,

MY CAR IS HAVING VERY SERIOUS ENGINE PROBLEMS. FIRST MY CAR DOES NOT OVER HEAT, BUT IT DOES LET OUT WHITE SMOKE FROM THE EXAUST. THE QUESTION IS WHAT MAY BE WRONG WITH THE ENGINE, IS IT THE VAULVES OR THE INJECTORS, WHAT IS THE AVERAGE COST OF SUCH REPAIRS, AND WHAT SHOULD BE DONE?

THANK YOU.

Actually, the white smoke indicated there is coolant getting into the combustion chamber and being burned with the fuel. If this is the 3.1L V6, chances are you have a bad head or intake gasket.

Let me know if you have other questions.
