Now neither sounds to be the case since the car is smoking white.

i would check to see if you are dumping to much fuel into your motor, when this happens the fuel usually ends up in the oil. it has to do with your eletronic fuel injection, when it starts to go out that is what it does, until it goes out it will dump way to much fuel in your car and thus it wont start at all and be carefull if this does happen because your car will back fire real bad and may start on fire cause the fuel will start leaking out of exaust manifold and down threw exaust piping. the part to fix this is rather expensive, but i dont know remember what the part is call but its located in or arond your fuel pump if i remember right.

this has to be one of the more idiotic things I've ever read.

Not really, the 420A never did anything to me, they just suck, and that's the honest truth.

First of all there is no such thing as turbo rings, I dont know where that came from. Second of all, like I posted in my last post, if your car is a non turbo, which you just said it is, those are notorious for head gasket failures. Now since your car is smoking white like you said, I would venture a guess at it being the head gasket. Go get it replaced. Even if it's not the head gasket, you should replace it anyways because it will need it since those motors are crap.

It's probably the head gasket. If the car is a non turbo (420A), those are notorious for head gasket failures.
