1. I noticed my cd player would start skipping around tracks and now today my cd player doesnt work. if i put any cd in it trys to read it and after about 30 seconds it spits the cd out any ideas if i can fix this or do i need a new radio?

2. Sometimes when i start the car white smoke comes out of the exhaust and ive been getting shitty gas mileage lately and i wonder if this is causing the problem and how can it be fixed


btw i have 2003 Camry SE V6 thx

hmm.. my OEM cd and tape player both don't work. and i have a CD stuck in there. ugh


Not too sure how to fix your CD problem, but as for the white smoke, have you been doing your oil chances and other ref. maintainence?

The Toyotas are notorious for Valve seals slightly leaking, The smoke is caused by the oil burning that seeped past the seals.

Hey, when you try to play a CD, is it cold?

White smoke usually means burning antifreeze. You should get that checked.

my cd player stopped working for about a week, but somehow it started working again. it still skips around tracks and freezes in the middle of the song though.

Your not burning anything. Every car has white vapor coming out of the exhaust when its cold. Your gas mileage also goes down by a few miles when its cold. Your engine is fine. Its normal for it to have white vapor. IDK about the CD player though.

I had the same cd problem in the stock stereo...thought it was maybe the cd's , got different ones, tried with the car steady thought maybe it was the potholes even haha nothing worked i tried looking for answers and asked at the dealership they had no clue but it pissed me off I ended up buying a pioneer and replacing some speakers while i was at it
sorry not much help...

Most people confuse Blue oil burning smoke as being white. Considering this is happening at start up, it would suggest the oil from the valve seals. If it was infact antifreeze, it would smoke more after the engine has been running and the cooling system was pressurized which would make wherever the antifreeze was leaking into the combustion chamber more due to the increase of pressure.

Is the CD player on rand track setting? One of my friends hit the button without me knowing and I got really confused when the song I liked didnt come up and it skipped to a different track.

Have someone start the engine whilst you smell the smoke, if oil or steam you will know it. Oil will linger in the air much longer then water vapor.
