I recently has my O2 sensors and catalytic converter replaced due to my check engine light coming on. We reset after the new installs were put in and now we are getting the same code again. Any suggestions?

I am still waiting for my mechanic to send me the codes. Now I am also experiencing smoking but cannot figure out from where, and now when the heater is on it feels as if my car wants to shut off.

Okay, is it coming from the tail pipe?

white smoke is an indication of burning coolant.

blue smoke is an indication of burning oil.

black smoke is an indication of running rich in fuel.
