94 gts. 5sfe. Recently died on me despite changing the alternator. I boosted it, but see white smoke or steam coming from the exhaust pipe. What can I do? There's also a rough idle that dips to from 800-900 rpm to 600 every second or so. Is this related? The engine is a jap import, that replaced one with a broken head gasket. Their '30-day' warranty expired, but I'm going to still speak with them. Ideas?

I get a little bit white smoke with a tint of blue... it smells sweet and sour at the same time (best way to describe it sorry) I know I deferentially burn oil and lose a little bit of coolant as well. I think its worn piston rings d=-(
