Engine problem
1996 Chevy Corsica Engine Size unknown Wheel Drive Type unknown Automatic 120215 miles

I just pulled into my driveway and all of the sudden my check engine light came on. Then when I went to restart it a bunch of white smelly( smelled like strong Co2 gas) smoke came billowing out continously. Then about a hour later I tried to start my car and it would not turn on. What might be the problem?

Sounds to me like your head gasket went kaput. Perform a cylinder compression test to confrim this, lowest should be no more then 25% less then the highest ie. Higest = 100 lowest =-75% replace.
