White smoke from exhaust

The white smoke you are seeing is steam. From your description, sounds like you have coolent seeping into the combustion chamber, mixing with your fuel/air, and exiting out through your exhaust as steam. 1, blown head gasket. 2. cracked head or block, 3, warped head due to overheating. Most common is #1.

White smoke came from the exhaust pipe and the car killed in motion. I check all fluid levels were fine, once i started the care again and proceeded the accleration was a bit rough. After a few minute

white smoke mostly is caused by over fueling so what i suggest you do is first of all check if there is no leak on the injectors and if there is none which means your valve sterm seals are damaged.When the head gasket is blown out you may have problems like :-loosing power when driving,over heating,idling problems and oil mixing with water, its not your head gasket.

2005 Dodge Ram1500 White Mist/smoke from exhaust pipe.

One of the gaskets has blown at a point where the a water jacket is blowning into the cylinders but not mixing with an oil jacket on the heads. Try to use some Bars Leak and see if you can get it to seal and if not, their are also aluminum shavings mixed with sealer for some of the worse problems. If it seals you will then know that it will need a gasket replacement at some point

I just replaced the head in my 99 neon and i'm blowing white smoke from the exhaust. What's the problem

You are burning coolant, the head gasket can be put on Wrong, If your looking at the engine the right rear corner is the only oil passage for the head, you will see a difference in that corner of the head gasket. If your sure that the gasket is on right you may have a warped or cracked head or improper torqued head, all head bolts MUST be replaced when you do a new gasket cause the bolts stretch when torqued. The spec is 25, 50 then 50 then 1/4 turn for the bolt torque.. Make sure u start from the center of the head.

Overheated due to a heater hose leak all hoses were replaced but now have white smoke coming from tail pipe that smells of antifreeze

White smoke is burning antifreeze. You have more than likely blown a head gasket which is allowing coolant into the combustion chamber where is is being mixed with fuel and burnt.

My 93 maxima got no power an smoke started to come out the tail end.

The best test is a compression test.
Blue smoke means it's burning oil, due to worn out piston rings.
White smoke means it's mixing antifreeze and oil due to a bad head gasket or cracked head or block.
