i owned a 86 Chevy 1500 it done the same thing if there is a ticking sound along with the steam out the exhuast you've broken a piston, and it has gone through the block then youll need a new engine ,or you have just blown a head gasket and water has seeped into a cylinder on the block . a good sign is water in the oil it will look milky colored. it can be fixed if you didnt warp the head if so just repace the head and head gasket and it should be just fine

Engine over heats white smoke exhaust?
White smoke in the exhaust is water leaking into a piston and turning into steam. You have a leak somewhere in your engine. Your engine may overheat because you are low on coolant. You have run it out through your exhaust pipe. Soon your engine will catch fire and burn up, but you will have saved money by not getting it fixed.

What does a egr valve do?
The EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) directs exhaust gasses into the engine's combustion chamber via the intake manifold. The exhaust gasses are inert (do not support combustion) and displace oxygen that would normally be drawn into the engine during the intake stroke. Think of the engine as a vacuum pump and can only draw in a fixed amount of oxygen to be mixed with the fuel for ignition. The reason that exhaust gasses are drawn into the combustion chamber is to cool the exhaust. With less Oxygen in the fuel mixture the flame burns cooler and cooler exhaust temperatures result in lower NOX (oxides of nitrogen) emissions.
Where is the egr valve on a 2.2 2000 Chevy s10?
The EGR valve is located on the drivers side of the engine beneath the VORTEC air intake on the 4.3L V6 engine. You will notice that it comes directly from the exhaust manifold and feeds back into the cylinder. If the part is bad the rubber elbow which connects the EGR back to the engine will likely burn in half until the part is fixed. Youll hear a loud popping sound coming from youe engine if this is the case.
