When I start my car, sometimes it just clicks and won't turn over. Takes a couple tries and then starts but shakes like it isn't getting power. After a minute or two, runs fine and drives fine with no shaking. Other times it starts fine turning right over, but still shakes as it idles for a minute. Last 2 days there was white smoke coming out of tail pipes a couple times but not every time it was started. Checked fluids and coolant, oil all good. Any ideas?
