I have had so many troubles with this car of mine, its a good car in all but it just happens to mess up at the wrong times. I have a 4 door 4 wd mitsubishi mirage, its a 1992. Today the tail pipe started to smoke out when I was in the turning lane of the intersection, then it killed! I have done everything that I can think of with this car and nothing seems to be working. Please HELP!

If the smoke is white and coming from the tailpipe then your getting water/coolant into the combustion chamber. This is usually caused by a blown head gasket, warped or cracked head. Refrain from driving vehicle it could cause more damage because water does not compress, you could do more harm.
