Your engine would smoke if you are running at too high RPM or have had your RPM at a high level before. The engine is getting overheated. When you say it only smokes until about one mile it sounds like a problem with the engine. starter.

SOURCE: my truck blows white smoke

Hello!
There are two differnt reasons for black and white smoke coming from the tail pipe.
Black smoke means fuel runs rich (car getting to much gas). Check fuel pressure/air filter.
In some cases the white smoke means car is burning oil or transmittion fluid. Have tem checked/replaced.
If you can feel a smelly smoke it can be catalytic converter.
In a worsest scenario if car blowing white smoke it can be engine coolant is getting into an engine cylinder from a bad head gasket ,or a warped/cracked head. So you need to keep your eye on coolant level and check your engine for overheat. Also might be good to check your oil for traces of coolant (on a dipstick it would be a milky substance mixture of oil and coolant).
Good Luck

SOURCE: bmw 330d ...black smoke when idleing

Valve stem oil seal is worn. It doesn't smoke when injector disconnected because no compression as cylinder not firing with no fuel.

A bad coolant temp sensor for the ECM will cause that problem ... they are cheap and easy to replace. One other possibility is a piece of carbon stuck in the EGR causing an internal vacuum leak ..
Good luck.

1997 Chevy Astro Starcraft, 4.3L. What could have happened?

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved to model category.

Black Smoke is rich mixture
Blue Smoke is oil
White Smoke is Steam

What is this 'Trumbler' that you changed?? Not even Google has a clue!

Are you losing coolant? Did someone put Windshield Washer fluid into the engine oil filler? You are burning water. The ECM doesn't like it so it it shakes. At idle there isn't as much pressure to stop the water entering the combustion chamber. Likely a failed cylinder head gasket. You can do a pressure test and there is also a test that identifies exhaust gases in the coolant.

2002 Ford Bantam 1.6i starts fine and idles, but has a misfire while idling which also comes and goes. It also smokes grey when you accelerate, and jerks when driving.

Grey / white smoke is steam which means you are burning water.

White smoke, steam
Blue smoke, oil
Black smoke, rich fuel

With diagnostics failed, probably time to scrap it.

well black smoke means you are burning up engine oil. low idle means you have less compression. you might want to check your gaskets! does th engine oil level go down after a drive?

I just bought this tempo it starts but after i have been driving for about 20 min it starts to smoke and it starts to get hot it stops then you hav eto get a jump to start it.

It sounds like you have brought a lemon as if it hard to start when cold then its lacking compression which is worn engine piston rings and valve guides,and if it starts smoking when driving and if its BLUE smoke then its bad piston rings And if its BLACK smoke then its to much petrol getting into the engine which will also cause the engine to wear out quick as its washing the bores with fuel instead of oil,and that will also stop the engine from starting when hot,
SO if its BLUE smoke replace the engine
If BLACK smoke repair fuel fault.
