ok so i was driving and i smelled something, i was about to get to school so i was gona check it out whne i got there. the corner before as i turned i heard a noise while i shifted which kinda sounded like a grinded the gear so i popped it back into neutral and shifted again and it was perfect but after the first noise i heard another noise still going on. it sounded as if there was an electrical motor going (errrrrrrr) so i parked over, and i turned my car off and all the lights and the noise kept going. i opened up the hood and there was white smoke coming from where the header meets the engine. soon after it stopped but the car didnt start again after that, doesnt turn over or anything just silence. the engine was working fine the whole time and my fluids were good. i need help asap. please any help!!!!!! i dont know what it is please!!

Wich motor do you have? Check and see if its wireing then get a half inch breaker bar and then put a socket on the crank and see if it turns let me know I am a mechanic.

probablly head gasket. white smoke=coolant burning. it will also give a weird almost sweet smell. where the head meets the block is right under where the header bolts onto the head. check your coolant levels again.
