white means coolant which means it could be the headgasket but that doesn't seem to lend itself to what you're describing.
I'm running out of ideas without more information. If it were my car I would do a quick compression check and go from there.
i want to get it diagnosted somewhere but don't know anywhere to do it. there is no way i'm ever takin it back to the toyota dealership either. anyone know any places around the newport news area? custom car care is supposely backed up for a couple weeks! oh, it stopped smoking i guess because i tightened up a clamp from my intercooler pipe to my turbo. I'm pretty sure thats why it was smoking! now why the car goes from smooth, to shaking like hell under full throttle "sometimes" make no sense to me!
