Hi,

How long did you see the white smoke, and did it have an odd or sweet smell to it? If so, check the engine coolant to see if it is low. If coolant enters the combustion chamber, it will burn white. Entering the combustion chamber is usually the result of a faulty head gasket.

Let me know as much as you can. Also, take a look through this link and perform as many of the checks as you feel comfortable with:

Let me know.

Take care,
Joe
