sc300 white smoke
 

so i have no idea what the **** just happen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i started my car ready to leave my house, and my car cranked and turned on, but in a choppy manner like a stutter, and i was wondering what it was then i tried turning it off but for some reason it was cranking by itself with out my key in the ignition. then i was popped the hood open and the fan was turing serpentine belt was spinning and keep in mind this is without the key in the ignition, then several minutes later my car started smoking then completely died leaving a massive amount of white smoke coming out and then the battery liquid started boiling. i don't understand what happen Im in shock anybody gone through this need help please please this is my daily i got school and work need this **** fixed asap!!!!!

Could be alternator overcharging the battery...

Could possibly be a bad cell inside the battery and the alternator is overcompensating trying to charge it...sounds like something overheated...

its all fixed guys it was the starter that needed replacing thats all :)

?? Well, whatever works, I guess...white smoke and bubbling battery was a bad starter?

:confused: whaaaaaaaa?

dafuq? i had to read twice to make sure i didn't miss something. bad starter explains the starting on its own thing but smoke and bubbling battery. crazy stuff haha.

Yea the white smoke was coming from a seal in the starter it got to a point where the seal on the starter melted and created a bigger cloud of smoke

...Very interesting fix. But, whatever works, I guess.
