I don't know what's wrong with my car?
So when my car wouldn t start I took it in and it turns out it was the starter. The guy fixed it and everything was cool. But when I picked it up it made a weird noise and sounded like it wanted to turn off so I let it run for a little bit and everything was good. The tailpipe had alot of smoke coming out of it also but my uncle told me that was because they had to remove it or something. But anyway I drove home (which was an hour and a half away) and I didn't have any problems, it was running better than it ever has before. But when I got up this morning to drive it it made a weirder noise and I didn't think it was going to start but it did. It just sounded extremely weak and more smoke was coming out of the tailpipe. I made it to school but I'm so scared to drive it again. Should I just let it run for a minute before I drive it? I don't know some advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advanced.
Added (1). 2002 Ford Focus, i don't know what engine but people tell me it's a difficult one and that it has 2 motors. White smoke. But last night it eventually stopped. And 1.7k miles. And it's not the head gasket I got that checked already.
Need more information. What kind of car is it? Engine? Color of the smoke? Based on your vague description I'm at a fork in the road here. Could be the engine is running rich if the smoke is black and sooty or a blown head gasket if it's puking out white smoke.
What miles? What year? What? Ever tune it? Starter replacement has noting to do with what your cars doing
My question is a very simple one, did it do this before you had the starter replaced If the answer is no then you need to contact the shop where the work was done because they caused it. If the answer is yes it did that then your in deep poop. I would not recommend driving this vehicle until the problem if found and fixed.
It's a 2.0L single overhead cam engine and the valve seats have dropped out of the head. - just a guess but a good one:

- Why is it that Trump supporters are calling Dr. Ford a liar when they were not there and don't know what happened? Many victims of sexual assault are so traumatized that they don't tell anyone for decades. And why would she come forward before he was nominated for the SC? There was no reason to.
- I need to put a different engine in my 1982 Ford Ranger Lariat and I don't know what to put in it? It's the biggest engine you could get at the time in those trucks, so it is a v8, I just don't know the exact size. Since the engine is pretty much dead that's in it I was wondering if almost any v8 could go in it's place or if it has any specific engine that has to go it in. Also any good suggestion for a good engine would be great.

- I found a random part of my car. I don't know where its supposed to be? I own a 2013 ford convertible Mustang and while cleaning inside my car I found this part. Can anybody help me by telling me where this part is supposed to go?
