Look for an obvious coolant leak. If you don't see one, pull the engine oil dipstick and examine the oil. If the oil is milky you probably have a blown head gasket. Do not continue to drive it.

1988 Silverado 12 ton 150000 miles when running a lot of white smoke comes out of tail-pipe It does this when you start it or when driving what causes this?
White smoke is an indicator you have a head gasket leak. The white smoke is actually water or coolant mixing into the combustion chamber with the fuel and air. Have you noticed a bit of a rough idle? Have you looked at your coolant level lately?

Why don't your heater work on your 2002 Chrysler sebring?
If it is a 2.7 litre engine and the engine temperature is normal, you probably have a low coolant level and the coolant system needs to be bled. The heater core and top of the engine sit higher than the radiator and air bubbles are trapped there and not allowing the water to pass. At the top of the engine, just left of the intake manifold, you will see a small bleeder assembly. Place a clear hose on the tip and open the valve letting the water run back in to the radiator storage cannister until all the air bubbles have stopped passing through the hose. You may have add additional coolant and you may have to bleed the system more than one time, especially after driving the car again. If you have noticed the engine coolant temperature guage fluctuating when you are driving, that is usually a good sign the coolant level is low. The temperature sensor sits right next to the bleed valve, so if there is air trapped in the system, it shows the temperature to be low or cold.
