My car is a 99 honda civic si coupe and well just recently I was driving on the freeway and well I herd a loud pop, and the next I saw in my rear view mirror is white smoke coming from my exhaust. Now since that inciddent my car wont turn on, but I can defenetly shift into their prospective shifts, I would like to know what the problem is, if its my trans, my clutch or what the cause is.

thank you

Hi mannie1225,

If the car cannot be started, it should be the engine.

Check the engine oil and coolant level. If either one is low, you could be facing a big problem with the white smoke.

If both okay, check if there is sparks at the spark plug and fuel at the fuel rails.

You should check to see if theres oil in the coolant and also check for coolant mixed in with your oil. If so you may have a bad head gasket and does your car overheat thats also a sign of a bad head gasket.
