I have a 1999 Ford Taurus that was wrecked b4 I got it. The car was running fine. But I've had a new alternator, battery and belt put on it. The car was sitting for a bout 3 months. I just recently tried to drive the car. The car is running. But there is very thick white smoking coming out of the exhaust pump. The smoke is continuous and it is so much that it causes people driving behind me to not be able to see. The transmission is also starting to shake, and the service engine light has come on. Could you tell me what might be wrong with it.
