Why dose gas come out of tail pipe 2001 .3,3L

check for clogged air filter and oxygen sensor if check eng light is on

try rebuilding the carb nd or tune up on engine

The most common cause of coolant coming out the tail pipe is a blown head gasket. Water vapor is normal.

Gas or exhaust make sure catalytic converter isn't clogged you will loose a lot of power .good luck

dose the car smoke on acceleration or start up do you have any leaks on the pavement

One of the main causes of white exhaust smoke and coolant loss is a cracked or warped cylinder head, a cracked engine block, or head gasket failure caused by overheating. A cracked head may allow coolant to leak into one or more cylinders or into the combustion chamber of the engine. Dirty coolant, a poorly maintained cooling system, a low coolant level, or a non-functioning cooling fan can cause engine overheating. In addition, engine wear can eventually cause the gaskets to lose their capacity to seal properly allowing internal coolant loss. Intake manifold gasket and head gasket failures are two of the most common sources of internal coolant loss caused by engine wear.


Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.

Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day.

You know what it is also

You have white smoke out the exhaust

You surely know that is a blown head gasket

Well iv had this problem a few times in the past so will let you try some of them ,
1/ Fuel pump in fuel tank overheating ORfuel filter not letting fuel passing ,ANSWER remove fuel pipe to engine and feed into a bottle turn on key and see how much fuel comes out without stopping, if ok go to fuel tank and check the breather pipe (make sure its clear).
2/ If engine runs well when you first start without missing and idles well,but then dies at 15minutes
when you try to start again dose it seem to turn over faster or slower?
3/When engine running check the rear tail pipe on exhaust check for smoke and put you hand over the pipe hard to stop fumes (dose engine run rough and stop?),as the muffler or converter can be blocked more so when hot.{use a glove on your hand}.
4/When the engine stops take out No1 plug lead and fit a spare plug in it and lay on top of engine and spin engine over ,does it spark?? as it could be the coil overheating which would also do it if no spark.
5/ Chech coolant sensorplug for bad fitting Also check Crank Sencer and coil wire to distributor.
Let me know the results Ron

The fuel pump is getting weak. The vehicle requires a specific amount of fuel pressure to run properly and the pump has gotten weak enough that it's not suppling the required pressure. Very common problem with your kind of vehicle.

It almost sounds like to much fuel pressure.Check fuel pressure it might need adjusted down to factory settings
