When I first start the car in the morning I get a large amount of steamy white smoke comming from the exaust pipe. It goes away in a couple of minutes And the car runs fine, the car does not run hot, and the coolant level is good. This is relatively new problem, This car has been a great runner and gets me around 35 mpg. I've checked and all four plug wires are firmly on the sparkplugs.

The smoke means your burning something. White usually means coolant being burned but a little gray tinge to it can mean oil. If your not losing any coolant, then it's probably bad valve seals.
