Sounds like you may have and O2 sensor problem . or a fuel delivery problem. Check your fuel presure to make sure it is with in specs I think some where around 55 - 60 lbs running at idle . You will need to have the engine control module scaned to see what codes you may have stored .doing this will lead you in the right direction for a repair , if you have O2 sensor codes start with seeing which ones are working or not . I think there are 4 on your truck 2 on each bank .. bank 1 sensor 1 bank 1 sensor 2 bank 2 sensor 1 bank 2 sensor two . bank one is the side with number 1 cylinder in the firing order the bank 1 sensor 1 or bank 2 sensor 1 are the sensor befor the cat converter and the other sensor are after the cat (pre cat and post cat )

My suzuki f6a minitruck emits white smoke and has oily spark plugs

White smoke should be water
Blue smoke is oil
Black smoke is rich mixture

Try one of the oil leak treatments. It repairs seals.

Rough idling and alot of black smoke.i have 4 white spark plugs and 4 black ones. could it be an oxy.sensor?

the ones that are white.. means your burning coolant so that side of the engine has a leaking head gasket.. as for the 4 black ones.. that most likely means your burning oil, and the black smoke indicates burning oil as well.. that could be bad piston rings, valve seals, bad pcv valve... it could be all those things....

Truck misses over 45 mph blue and white smoke

well the blue smoke is a fuel issue and the white smoke is also a part of that. check air filter. what year and make? check condition of spark plugs, remember what cylinder they came from, a good burn is a brown paper bag color,a clean plug is a lean cyl , a oil or carbon look is a rich burn, this will help determine if it is one cyl or all 8-6-4 .

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

White smoke

Sounds like you've got a leaking head gasket. Check your coolant and see if there's any black gunk in it, if there is you for sure have a leaking head gasket.
