visible smoke problems

I am working on a 1995 Mercury Marquis that failed for visible smoke,it has a engine light and I was told tha the egr valve is the reason. Would changing this solve my problem?

Yes, an EGR valve can cause smoke. What color smoke is it?

I,m looking for a 2005 Dakota 4dr 4X4 SLT. The stats say the mpg is within 1 or 2 mpg between the 8cyl and 6cyl. I will not use the 4wh drive often. What other opinions are out there to consider between these two engines? (I drive 19miles one way to work), not looking for less than 15mpg? thanks for your ideas in advance,,

FM transmitter acting up in cig lighter

I have an FM transmitter for an Ipod that works perfect in other vehicles but my 03 Astro work van. I just started pausing the Ipod for a second and then starting again. I have checked wiring, changed the fuses, tried in the other 12volt outlets and it does the exact same thing. There is no indication that it is losing power either. Could this be some kind of a voltage dip. I also have noticed an unusual amount of static on the AM radio side when I step on the gas pedal. I know this is a crazy one but it is driving me mad. Thanks for any help.
