Have new spark plugs and wires. Still running a little rough, dies when idling, tapping noise.
If you are drawing white smoke then its either the inlet manifold gasket failed or a head gasket ,best suggestion i can make is to trade it in quick before you spend lots of cash .this coil pack and additive will not work its drawing water into the pistons from somewhere and requires a complete strip down of the top assembly to cure it ,no amount of wonder cures will help here

sounds like a vacuum intake leak..check a those little tubes for cracks and security. also check your transmission levels, this will sometimes cause a surging problem while driving..if all this checks good then it might be dirty or clogged injectors..purchase a can of Sea Foam from Autozone $10 pour in 1/2 can to half tank of gas and drive around for thirty minutes..highway driving preferred, and see if that will clean up the fuel system.Can i get some feedback, thanks

My 2001 Ford Windstar van's problem started very suddenly coming up a long uphill pull on the mountain. Sudden white smoke out the back-end and the temperature hand shot up. No previous warning of any kind. My friend who knows some about cars put a $60 can of something in the radiator, following the instructions carefully. That stopped the white smoke, but continued running rough. We replaced the spark plugs and wires because a friend's diagnostic computer said 2 were bad. All looked old. The van runs still runs rough, though not as bad, and still wants to die when stopping. The temp hand still goes up sometimes, but goes down if I turn on the heat and fans. The friend said it could need a new coil pack as that would be the next thing to go bad, but that costs $65 which I don't have . I serioulsly NEED my van running right as I am disabled and everything is far apart here. PLEASE HELP! Thanks and God bless you.
The tapping noise is no longer there.
N0 more white smoke after the beginning of the problem. It is running more smoothly now and not dying.
