If the color of the smoke is white, you most probably have a bad head gasket. Do you have overheating and coolant losses issues?

My timing chain was not working, so I got it replaced. After that I made the full service to the car. After that, My car is a manual transmission. When Im running on the road, it works like a charm. But when I am about to stop, the car just turns off. And white smoke comes out of the car. But I do not get overheating problems at all.

The idling system is not working correctly and it could be due to various causes.

1. Improper timing chain installation.
2. Leaking valves.
3. Faulty IAC.
4. Leaking vacuums.
5. Faulty MAF.
