Hello everyone.

I have a 1992 mitsubishi eclispe gsx 5spd. Im a delivery boy w/ this car and just yesterday I was delivering pizza for about 2 hours. On one run I put it in neutral and the car just died. Things that I thought was weird was that the car blew white smoke prior to my car dying but not that much. I thought the white smoke was just water vaper due to the cold. Another thing was when i decelerate in gear either the transfercase or something below my car was making a noise. The noise sounded weird, like something vibrating below my car. Back to my story, i tried jumping the car, thinking it was something electrical, but i have a new battery and the jump didnt seem to work. A buddy said that the head gasket was blown and i have no compression in the pistons. Is this true? Im not sure whats wrong so if anyone has had this problem or has any clue's that'll be helpful.

Thanks
Jackson
