yea, the check engine light does it ever come on? I was just thinking and white smoke is water and blue is oil and fuel should be black smoke. are you sure it's not blue? i thought i was seeing white smoke on my stealth but it ended up being blue and i fixed it by replacing the valve seals.

i'll check it when i get home.... also my accelerationis like soo cruddy... it's like 0-60mph in like 9 sec... thats crap! for a ES... how much do valve seals cost? and also.. she's miss firing.. you can hear it when she idols.... how would i go about fixing that? is that just sparks need to be replaced?... wat engine does your stealth have?? the base 160hp.. or the 220hp??just wonderring! lol it's sad because people see my car and are like a crap a stealth! that car can smoke this and that and it's so fast! but mine is slow as crap! i just want it to run healthy! lol... it should be doing 0-60 in like 7 sec... maybe even 6 sec!

Before you start shotgunning parts in hopes of fixing your problem, you might want to start with what is obvious.

i had never found an analog voltmeter when i pulled my codes, digital one will work too but it's harder to understand the code it's telling.
Valve seals are not expensive, about $40-$60 fo a set, it's labor intensive tho, and you have twise more of them than i do. Mine is base v6 with 160hp which feels like 100hp and runs about 7.5s-8.0s 0-60

You can pick up a cheap analog voltmeter at home depot for about $10.
