car started making whining noising then engulfed in smoke? help!
I started my car at my friends house who lives literally a mile from me. I heard a faint whining noise, that kind of sounded like getting a piece of rug stuck in a vacuum cleaner. then I pulled into my driveway and my car was engulfed in smoke! I waited a bit for the smoke to clear and popped the hood and I smelt like a burning electric smell. I started it back up and heard whining coming from the alternator section and smoke coming from there as well. (it was hard to see it was dark out and I was using an almost dead flashlight) I immediately shut the car off when I saw the smoke return.
Based on searches I think it's my alternator, any other possible thing though?
its a 99, I don't know if that matters for the alternator.
