White Smoke after hard cold start

New member here. Fairly new to rotary as well. Recently purchased 04 rx8 with 97k miles. Original engine, all stock.

When I cold start it in the morning before work, it starts hard and will produce white smoke clouds for about 30 seconds then stop. Went to AutoZone and got the check engine lights looked at. It's misfiring. Recommends new spark plugs and wires. Could this fix the hard start? As far as the white smoke goes, I'm stumped.

Any advice helps! Thank you

It could be unburnt fuel. Only one way to find out.

Get all 4 coils as well. Replacing those aught to help.

Read the new members stickies, as they detail a lot that you should know about the renesis and the rx8
