SOURCE: After starting car it sputters and white smoke

Your head gasket has a break in it,and ,or a cracked head. Be careful
not to let the engine overheat,and cause severe engine damage. I'd
suggest not using the vehicle,until you have it repaired. Good luck.

First with your incorrect fuel reading, you may need to have your fuel level sending unit replaced. Next if your vehicle otherwise runs fine when cold, no sputtering or hesitation if going uphill then I would suggest that your check your vehicle's air intake/induction system Mainly your air filter to see if it is clogged up which would impede air flow into your combustion chamber causing poor throttle response or suffication (not having enough oxygen for your fuel/air mixture to burn. Next I would have a thorough check performed on the emissions systems, also including your o2 sensor and possibly even your catalytic convertor and exhaust system. Start with that and let me know what your results are and I can advise you further if problems persist or worsen.
