2000 montero sport white smoke !!! help!!!
Hello everyone, just got a 2000 montero sport and when I turn it on in the morning it smokes white from the exhaust. After I drive it for a little it goes away. Also I notice a water sound coming from the motor, like water is moving left to right!!WEIRD! It runs real good and but when i get to work I check the level on the coolant and is down all the way. I just did a full service on it, new timing and water pump, seal, spark plugs,valve cover gasket and all that good stuff. Also when Iam stop, it feels like there a misfire, but I change the sparks and the wires! so I dont know.Let me know what you think it is!!! THANKS A LOT!!!!
