you also dont need to post 3 damn threads in the same day. Also in all caps... White smoke indicates your burning coolant. Check your oil and coolant levels and any untoward coloring of each. And chances are you need a new valve body. and possibly input and output shaft nuts depending on how long youve let that trans go on slamming

I have a Saturn 1992 SL Sedan with 164,000 miles. I am having a major problem with the car cutting off while I am driving at a fairly constant speed or when I am idling at a stop light. The engine will shut off, along with the power steering and all other electronics. This happens when at a stop light only after I press on the gas to accelerate from a dead stop, but I am able to put the car in neutral and start the car again (sometimes it takes a while to restart). We tried getting the electronic control module repaired, but this did not fix the problem. We checked the oil and it appears to be of the correct viscosity for the engine. We are at our ends as to what needs to be done to fix this dire problem. Thank you for your time! 8 Answers
