Its been my experience that white smoke is coolant/water. Fuel too rich usually looks black. If you have too much condensation in the exhaust after parking it, that might do it too I suppose.

Check to make sure you're not losing coolant. If you aren't, and it only happen immediately after a cold start, I wouldn't worry too much, but you might want to ask a mechanic too.

dam are you stupid or something because cold engine then suddenly heats up make white smoke. like you breathing in cold weather make white smoke come out of your mouth, and because in cold weather it tends to rev higher and richer until engine warmed then it dissapears

pop open the hood and you should do this when the engine is idling correctly. find adjustable cable. it should be the one that rev the car. undo the bolt abit, just enough to adjust then tighten it, that should fix it
