Check all your vacuum hoses like what get435 said and also check the iac, these cars have issues w/ those things. Also check your timing and try ajusting the idle if you can and make sure your throttle cable isnt stuck or hanging open.

^^^Check your throttle linkage and iac valve.

even thought it is white smoke i would then do a compression test. Did you notice if it was running a little hot at all? It dose not make since that it would blow white smoke unless you are burning coolant. Are you sure it was fuel that came out of the exhaust or water that smelled like rich exhaust?


Edit:



Sorry had to run out and take pics

Try turning it down but make sure the throttle cable isnt hanging open or binding.
