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.
