NO pull

i have a 93' auto 240 se coupe

to start the list of problems

1.there is a clinking sound in the head

2.when i floor the car, white smoke comes out so im guessing there is coolant being mixed in

3.if i lock up the brakes and try to do a burnout the tires dont even spin and it will not rev pass 2500-3000, though i was always able to do it before.

4.i cant put the car into drive without pressing the release button

5. the sunroof opens but doesnt close

where in NJ u located? i may be able to go and help or you can come to us (my carclub) my boy is a mechanic and im involved with autobody incase you need suttin done


1-3: clanking sound (if your sure its ur head) is a bent valve(s). they got bent by you doing burnouts. i suggest you stop trying to do em now until you get it fixed. smoke is cus the bent valve(s)

4: if you did ur burnouts by dropping gears (neutral into drive)

5: Try some WD-40 or check if something is stopping it from closing


Lemme guess, it sounds like S*** or is vibrating hard?



PS your sig is true, look where YOU got your 240 at now

your car pulls harder in reverse than in drive because your reverse gear is a lower gear than your Auto 1st gear, It actually has more torque to the wheels than your 1st gear. o and a bent valve would have nothing to do with white smoke. but coolant is the right idea, try doing a compression test on your motor followed by a leakdown test. Goodluck

i would say check the head gasket, check the radiator for oil in the coolant. Also, look for cracks in your block. White smoke is usually coolant burning.

all i have to say is wow...i had started my car last week for the first time in about a week or two and my tranny seems to have no problem..there is no more white smoke, and the clinking sound isnt as loud anymore.. i really have no idea wha is or went wrong with my car but at the moment the car is running fine...
