1990 mustang GT. just finished heads, cam, intake upgrade about 2 months ago.
So I took the train to pickup my mustang and drive it 6 and a half hours south today. Only problem was about 4 hours into the drive, the car started to just barely shake a bit, a strange lurching, shake thing until ultimately it shut off on the highway that felt like it was coming from the engine compartment. Rolled it off the the side of the road, some white smoke was coming out of the left exhaust pipe. Not a huge amount but noticable, and only the left side. No smoke from the engine, no leaks that I could see... Not sure exactly what's wrong. I just put a lot of money into this car and now this seems absolutely horrible. When I tried to turn the car back on it "started" but the engine was very weak and off and it died after a few seconds again. More white smoke out the left tailpipe. Help me !
