Like sulphur, really strong

Head Gasket

If it's a head gasket the smoke will be thick and white but will go away because it's mostly steam. If it doesn't it's most likely burning oil.

um nm i think i found the problem, damn my dad never took care of this car very well he never checked the oil, well thats what i think it is because their was only 3/16" left damn that is to low for a car, that would cause the smoke right?

anyone here?

Fill it and see what it does....

After you fill it and run the car, chek the oil level again when the engine has had time to sit... and then recheck it once more the next day... also check for oil drips where you park the car.

Don't turn on the car till you refill the oil.

If it is the HG..... who cares, motors are cheap and easy to find... So don't sweat it too much..

K i did that i seems alot better but still has a burning smell so it that normal since i just filled it up or is my Engine or something else just fucked up?

Just fill it up and check for leaks and smoke like turbo accord said...

The smell should go away after a few miles if it doesn't then something is leaking still... thats why I said to check for leaks where the car is parked and check for fluid drain after you drove the car... so try what we've suggested... and come back in a day or two and tell us what problems are still occuring.

if it is blowing white smoke. thick white smoke, you have blown head gasket. unfortunatly it won't go away. i had the same probelem when i got one of my cars cars.

oil change mang...get rid of whatever bad oil was in there then fill it with some good stuff....castrol synthetic 5w-30w...;)

if not then prolly what shepard said the head gasket....anyways hope you fix it soon

Have you even check your coolant level? If your oil is low chances are you might be low somewhere else.

Yup i think it was oil. It seems like it runs fine, (for now) also it says the battery is low damn need new one.

I will be driving it for another week i will tell you guys if that was it.

ok like 1 week later update it seems great now no more smoke or shit. It looks and sounds great again :wtf: O well.

yeah, too much oil will make that thing smoke like a fawkin train, i know this because i had to keep my old engine oeverfilled on long trips due to a leaky rear main seal and a bad oil pump, but it was whit, thick smoke, but it went away as the oil got lower
