You are burning coolant. What vehicle? did you do a compression test?
Without year make model & engine size you get a guess. Ignition module, coil, distributor
A STUCK THERMOSTAT WILL DO THAT ESPECIALLY WHEN THE ENGINE STARTS 2 GET WARM-THEN ALOT OF WATER WILL BOIL OUT--------IF THE THERMO IS GOOD -U WILL C WATER MOVEMENT(FLOW) AFTER THE ENGINE WARMS UP.
You wouldn't happen to be using too heavy of an engine oil ? What grade of engine oil are you using ?
Smoking all the time is probably the piston rings. Smoking when you first start it is probably the valve seals. Smoke may be coolant and not oil which would mean a head gasket, cracked head or block. What color smoke makes a difference. Black smoke, to much fuel (flooding). Blue smoke, engine oil. White smoke, engine coolant.
Todays car warms up faster if you drive it. Just drive easy
Usually white smoke is the result of a cold engine. After the engine warms up, the white smoke should disappear. Faulty injector spray patterns are another common problem.
Often a knock when cold is caused by piston slap, which is pistons rocking in the cylinders until they expand in size when the engine warms up.
No, warn engine parts will cause loss of oil pressure as the engine warms up, due to expansion betweeen moving parts. Hot oil is thinner.
False
NO, it will not damage the vehicle engine by turning the heater ON before the engine has warmed up fully.
White smoke from the exhaust when the engine is warmed up indicates that engine coolant is getting into an engine cylinder from a bad head gasket , a warped or cracked cylinder head - sorry
If its coming from your engine, you may need a valve adjustment..
White smoke out of the exhaust is a sign that the head gasket is bad and is allowing water (coolant) into one or more of the cylinders. If the smoke decreases when the engine warms up, this may mean that the gasket is expanding when the engine warms up. Check for coolant in the oil by looking at the oil on the dipstick. A sure way to tell is to tell is that the oil will be a milky color and overfull.

Does it quit shaking when it warms up? What engine and year of Aerostar?
Then you need to have code checked, you can diagnose from there.
The preheater warms up the engine so it will start easier and in freezing weather will help to avoid freezing of the coolant.
