My guess would be a leaking intake or head gasket. Water in the cylinder(s) is shorting the spark plug until the temp comes up on the engine. The white smoke is the coolant being burnt off. check your coolant level it may be low.

2003 kia sedona Replaced the C/fan H2 relay switch ran fine a few mins then a loud rumble near the front fan and smoke appeared. Switched them back no sound / smoke but now the ac is blowing hot air

Im going to guess that the cooling fan went bad. Smoke is a pretty good indicator that something is no good. It make have blow fuses that also power the A/C compressor. The C/Fan 2 fuse is the one that the compressor uses as well.

2005 dodge cummings has real bad miss and blows white smoke at idle and when driving

You might want to watch your coolant level. Open your radiator, fill it to full, and start the truck. If bubbles form, you might have a broken head gasket. Also, check to see how your water seperator and fuel filter are looking. But it sounds kind of like a head gasket.

Grand prix has a 3.1 6cyl. and 166000 mile, it blow white smoke

Sorry to inform you of the bad news but the white smoke is engine coolant burning off and the rough running condition is also associated with coolant leaking into the combustion chambers.This will be a head gasket repair, basically a head job where you will need to machine the heads down and install new gaskets from the heads up.Get back to me if you have any more questions, thanks and I hope I could help!!!

White "smoke" spewing from my Kia.

Check your oil, you may have a blown head gasket. Check the oil too see if it has antifreeze in it
