I'm stranded on the side of the road. Please help me
Hi all,
so I am stranded, my car overheated on me. I'm not sure if I pulled over in time, or my head gasket is blown. I wasn't paying attention, and my car hesitated on me when I stepped on the gas.. I look down and see check engine light and the temp needle at the very top. I'm not sure how long I was driving like this... I wish I would have noticed sooner so I could pull over. I had white smoke coming from the top of my engine bay (towards the back) the radiator looks fine, and coolant reservoir is full...
Its an 09 with 144k miles.
Is is my head gasket blown???

sounds like you may have blew a coolant bypass hose or perhaps a heater hose since you stated there is white smoke from the top rear section of the engine. pressurize the sys and you should be able to see if you have a leak. the check engine light on is more than likely an engine overheating fault code.
