White smoke is coolant. A blown head gasket is a good possibility.
If the plugs smell like gas, there could be a number of reasons. If you have a blown head gasket, it's possible that coolant in the cylinder is hampering the combustion process, keeping the fuel from being completely burned. That would be my first guess, anyway.
If you didn't follow this thread, I'd go back and redo the timing...

make sure the previous owner didnt cover up the CEL. you're probably going to want to do a compression test also.

Wait, what? Choppy running, white smoke, and unburned fuel in the chamber are normal things?!Originally posted by jdmguy91 View Post
My sentiments are ditto those of Deevergote. Sounds like you might want to do a compression test. If you have two cylinders next to each other with low pressure, that means the headgasket is most likely blown between those two cylinders. You are going to have to diagnose this farther, as a CEL won't tell you "Hey, I have a blown headgasket, fix me."Comment

Open our radiator cap while the engine's cold. Take a sniff. Then, start the car.. let run for a bit, and go behind the car. See if it's the same smell. If so, head gasket! It is rather cold these days, so all cars are gonna throw white smoke until they're fully warmed up, and even if warmed up. Honestly, the car putting is most likely a spark issue. Plugs, Wires, even an ignitor. But yea, Deev's on the right track.98' Mustang 3V Swap

well when I had a bad headgasket, my car was losing coolant. It wasn't smoking white though. So if you're losing any amount of coolant, then is most likely leaking into the combustion chamber.
Another symptom I experienced was a stumbling upon startup for the first 30 sec or so until all the coolant was evacuated/burned out.
