Angry Sputtering and smoking WTF..

ok well have been trying to figure out WTF is going on now with this dam motor. when i drive it will start to sputter and then as soon as i stop at a light or something, it starts spitting out white smoke. it will do this all the way till i hit about 3-3500 RPMs then smooths out. I putfresh new plugs checked out the wires and they seemed to be in good shape no cracks or n e thing. Last week i put some injector cleaner and that seem to get rid of the sputtering and smoking. But tonight it started up again. it will never smoke untill it does that sputtering crap. So any ideas on whats going on? Could this be that my injectors are that gunked up or what. let me know

mine was doing that same thing last week turn on your car and check your injectors they might be leaking, maybe try an o2 sensor besides that im not sure what else it could be

Isn't white smoke fuel related?.......While blue is turbo or oil related?....

white smoke is coolant, black smoke is fuel (running too rich) and blue smoke is oil
