Had car at idle for 5 minutes while checking fluids exhaust had a white smoke and smelled bad. Car then died and have not been able to start it since. Tried starting fluid but nothing not even a sputter.

Hi, are you loosing coolant? Usually the white smoke is coolant getting into the cylinder/s. At the least, maybe a bad gasket, intake--head, something. I didn't thing to look at TSBs, some 6s have had problems with faulty intake gasket causing coolant loss. You might pull the spark plugs, see if they are wet with coolant?
