Engine overheats white smoke out tail pipe gas like smile water spitting out tail pipe engine stalls
One of the main causes of white exhaust smoke and coolant loss is a cracked or warped cylinder head, a cracked engine block, or head gasket failure caused by overheating. A cracked head may allow coolant to leak into one or more cylinders or into the combustion chamber of the engine. Dirty coolant, a poorly maintained cooling system, a low coolant level, or a non-functioning cooling fan can cause engine overheating. In addition, engine wear can eventually cause the gaskets to lose their capacity to seal properly allowing internal coolant loss. Intake manifold gasket and head gasket failures are two of the most common sources of internal coolant loss caused by engine wear.
Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.
Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day.
SOURCE: white smoke?
It's just condensation. Water will also drip from the pipe.
The colder it is, the worse the 'smoke' will be. I was in Vernal, Utah
earlier this week, drove through -18*F weather, my truck never quit
blowing white smoke.
And NO IT IS NOT YOUR HEADGASKET

well first the white smoke indicateds water in fuel system. if you have a strong fuel smell that would indicated that your getting way too much fuel. there are several reasons for this. it could be that the fuel pressure regulater is malfunctiong. the throttle position sensor is bad. it could also be a timing issue.

Sounds like its flooding(excess fuel)Try squeezing the main fuel line enough to allow enough fuel through for engine to run smoothly if that improves running of engine either fuel pump needs replacement or pressure relief valve has failed or has no vacuum to activate it.Dirty or failing injectors can also cause your problem,try putting a can/bottle of injector cleaner in fuel tank to see if it improves running of engine.Air flow meter can also be an issue.A few potential reasons foryour problem and too hard to lock it down to a single cause without the vehicle being in front of me to do the appropriate tests so have just provided the basic causes and hope your able to take it from here and solve the problem.Good luck

Hi Dre,
I hope you don't shoot the messenger, It sound like a blown head gasket.
The white smoke is water in with the combustion.
The rough running is either no compression or coolant in with the fuel/air mix.
Things to check to confirm.
The little bit of good news is it still runs. So secondary damage hasn't occurred yet. You need to get this addressed quickly.
I'm sorry to be the bearer of this type of news.
Mike
