white smoke=not good!!!

drain the engine oil and check to make sure there is no anti freeze in there.
if there is congratulations you have a bad headgasket.

I got the same code for a bad distributor. The eg's are known for distributor problems.

regardless white smoke aint good and you should still check the oil

if you had a bad head gasket then the antifreeze that you would be trying to burn off in your oil could clog your converter or ruin an 02 sensor and in turn throw a cel!
