yes, well most likely. White smoke like they said is because of coolant. And this is ussually associated with the head gasket.
And if i read correctly then my guess is you get a big puff of black smoke every time you shift. Thats exactly what i had. Its because of the car burns oil. In some cars its worse than others because they start to get older. But like i said its really nothing to worry about there.

not really sure. If you say that it dies at idle i usually think some sort of leak. But i dont know if they are connected

no, i mean if im driving hard, and i throw it in neutral, as soon as the rpms drop when i throw it in neutral, it like dies, idk why, it dies, it just does, so i pull over, and i pop the hood, and its smoking white around the intake manifold

RE: white smoke-----> black smoke
well the engine i dont think enjoys burning coolant lol. It wouldnt suprise me if thats what was causing it to die. What do your plugs look like? You need to stop driving it and get that gasket changed. Dont take it to a non DSM place because they will screw with it for hours and do a crap job.
