Not directly, but it can crack or blow your head gasket. (Which will cause white smoke)
Happened to me =(
Yes.
Yes they're very bad for the environment
Because, it's bad for you. When you breathe in the smoke, it just is! Everyone knows that! :D
bad temper
no idea! i was just about to ask the SAME question. :( too bad.
White smoke usually indicates steam. I don't think a bad intake manifold gasket would cause it, but a bad or blown head gasket certainly would. More than likely it is a bad head gasket or a cracked head. White smoke means you are getting anifreeze in your cumbustion chamber (cylinder) and when it fires it is burning the moisture creating white smoke.
Steam? Leak? overheating due to low coolant? Back pressure due to a bad thermostat? Defective radiator cap? have system pressure tested to determine location of leak
No. White smoke is coolant entering the combustion chamber. You more than likely have a blown head gasket.
yes it can. This is bcos when its bad, it instead allow oil frm d crankcase to be sucked directly in to the intake manifold, thereby generating white smoke.
no its a blown head gasket, the white smoke your seeing is steam cause the the water leaking in to the combustion camber. if the smoke was black then that would mean to much fuel. if the smoke was blue that would mean there was oil getting in to the combustion camber.
Bad spark plugs and leads can commonly make the engine feel like its 'hesitating' or skipping a beat, often worsening in the higher rev range. However it is not the cause of white smoke. White smoke is typically associated with coolant getting into the combustion chamber. The most common cause of this is a cracked head gasket, which you will need to replace in order to rectify the white smoke.
if there is white smoke that is bad not as bad as black but still bad u need probley not work on ur car and seek perfesanal help..........for the car not u.........or maybe.
it would cause overheating but the smoke is probally coming from some sort of water or antifreeze in combustion chamber
Yes a bad thermostat would cause overheating in any car. A thermostat regulates the temperature.
bad head gasket
Heavy white smoke is usually caused when the engine burns transmission fluid, such as when the modulator valve is defective, causing transmission fluid to be sucked into the intake system. A stuck closed thermostat could cause the engine to overheat. If the engine overheated badly and repeatedly, a cylinder head could crack and allow coolant to enter the combustion camber. This condition would cause white smoke to blow out the exhaust.
Most cars have a little white smoke on start-up, but a consistent plume of white hot smoke is caused by antifreeze leaking into your combustion chamber and being expelled as steam. This is a bad thing.
