catalytic converter stopped up. while running put hand over exhaust feel how much pressure coming out . hold dollar bill at exhaust it should make dollar stand out away from it
DOES IT DIE OR STALL AT STOP SIGNS? RPM GAGE DANCE UP AND DOWN THEN ENGINE SHUTS DOWN? SPUTTER LIKE IT WANTS TO SHUT DOWN WHILE ON THE ROAD? GIVE ME SOME MORE SYMPTOMS.
THE WHITE SMOKE IS THE COOLANT HITTING THE EXHAUST THE IS A LEAK COULD BE A HOSE COULD ALSO BE A HEAD GASKET TAKE TO A REPAIR SHOP AND HAVE THEM PRESSURE TEST THE COOLING SYSTEM
there may be an idle adjustment on the idle air control valve but what happens if you come to a stop and place trans in neutral before complete stop ???
point is that you could be looking at just an adjustment or possible internal transmission problem
state what color the smoke is. White smoke is antifreeze. Gray smoke is fuel, and black smoke is oil. Also have the computer scanned so you know why the light is on.
it could be a vacuum line or the fuel filter itself put some STP gas treatment in a half a tank of gas if the condition improves change the fuel filter
