how’s it going everyone!? i need help with my 92 240sx (sr20det). when i turn the car on, it idles really rough with loud coughing noise. also, heavy amount of white smoke are coming out of the exhaust (muffler). i drove the car the night before, and it was running ok. no problems at all, but when i try to start the car early today, it started acting up really weird. i’m taking my car to my mechanic tomorrow, and i’m just wondering if i can get any help or feedback here. Please help!

any help would be appreciated. thanks!

check your oil. if it looks milky the its your head gasket… mix some coolant and oil in a small cup and swirl it around to see what your looking for in your oil.
