Something is possibly wrong

[illmatic]

Okay so my car has been having trouble starting lately. It will turn over but very weakly, sometimes i have to rev it just for it to not stall and tonite i saw some clouds of white smoke coming out the exhaust (kinda freaked out but i still drove it) nothing really seemed bad when i drove but my temp gauge was going up but then it went back down, that happened like ever 5mins i guess. What could be wrong? Also id like to add that my fan is wired to a toggle switch if that has anything to do with anything

EDIT: I Have a new mishimoto radiator and new thermostat so the cooling issue isn't from that, im guessing it's from what causing the probelm but it cools down

I change my fuel filter but im not sure if it did much, i can hear my fuel pump engage so i dont think that could be the probelm.... It cranks but it just has a hard time turning over, im thinking either its my battery, starter, or spark wires possibly, or maybe my o2 sensor. Any input?

Check and see if the thermostat is stuck... If its overheating it's more than likely something with your cooling. The spark issue is more than likely not the issue. Do a lot of research these issues have more than likely been covered and that's typically why a response was not given. People like OG and Klutch will typically rip your ass on the matter but look more into options and if you still can't resolve your issue repost or bump and CBR or hell maybe even og will help out (very smart-ass like but that's just him)

Lol yea i know they would but i doubt cooling is the issue lol i just installed a mishimoto radiator and a new thermostat like a month ago i think there the only thing saving my car from exploding or something lol, im just hoping to god its not a head gasket or anything because of the white smoke i saw

Oh ok, and put that in the original post so they know what parts you have, issues that lead up to the event I.e symptoms. Anything useful.

Could to much oil affect start up? Because i think i may have to much in there

There's way too much oil in there. Drain it out and do it again right... It'll cause sluggish and it will cause extra leaks and possibly ruin the engine.

But your problem sounds like a bad starter or possibly even a bad battery... Take it to autozone and have them test out the battery and starter (alternator will be tested too [its free]).

Thanks, thats exactly what i needed to hear, and im praying its the battery lol, thank you man

HOLY SHIT that's a lot of oil!!!!! It should only be filled up to the second hole on the dipstick lol!! There's your main problem right there. You're gonna get white smoke (burning oil) if it's overfilled and DAYUM is that overfilled.

Lmao, well look at it this way now i know the white smoke is oil and not coolant Head Gasket = Okay

also since my oil is so high should i check my spark plugs to see if any got on them or thats not possible so i dont have to worry about it?

Wouldn't hurt to check.

Went to autozone, turns out its the starter how hard is this to replace yourself?
