Thanks nc211 for your detailed analysis and explanation. I appreciate it wholeheartly and will follow through you suggestions. thanks, mark.

My 1992 LS400 (just bought 2 months ago), released a puff of white smoke with a very bad odder (like rubber) smell while my daughter sitting in the car playing her iPod via Cassette tape player. At that time, engine was not turned on, but ignition switch was turned to position 1 for radio to be on. After a while, a puff of white smoke came out. It was a lot of smoke, but it didn't last long enough for me to open the hood to see where it came from. After that, engine could still start, but all the instrument warning lights, like brake, coolant, oil / gas level were came one and stayed on. I check all fuse, they are all look perfectly fine. Couple days before that, we saw same kind smoke came out from exhaust pipe, again it was just a puff and not enough to sort out where and why. More history of this car, not sure if it contributed to the smoke. We bought this car knowing it leaks of Power Steering Fluid as we saw marks on ground, and seller admitted it too. We thought we would just fix it. But the garage where we brought to, ended by changing PS Fluid Pump. It didn't fix the problem. We brought it back 4 more times; it was, however, never fixed. The leak was visible because we could see fresh puddles of oil every morning. Since we were tired of bring it back and not get fixed, we started to claim for money back, and meanwhile we just add fluid weekly or so. After a while we didn't see fresh puddles anymore and could not figure out why, but we still needed to add fluid, but not as often. On the second day after a big puff of smoke came out of under hood and all lights came on and stayed on so long as engine is on, car went dead in the middle of driving. I have read much on this board, and learned that the smoke may came from PS Fluid due to the failure of ACV (Air Control Valve). This starts to make sense of why my car went dead, it must busted the Alternator. But we still could not sort out why the smoke, and if the smoke has any contribution to the car dead or the warning lights stayed. Another thing noticed right before car went dead, was radio went off. But later on, when tow truck driver tried to turn the ignition switch, we saw the radio came back on. Desperate need help here please for any pointers. thanks, mark.
