Misfire in Rotor 2 and white smoke from exhaust
Ok guys I'm looking for some suggestions. I took my car on a trip last weekend and drove it up to Austin from Houston. When I went to start my car on Saturday morning it through a misfire on rotor 2 and I could tell that it was not firing on that one but I let it idle for a while and it kicked in. While it was idling and a little after it was putting out a lot of while smoke from the exhaust.
I then drove the car down to San Antonio with no trouble on the trip down there. Once it's up and running it runs fine with no issues or throwing any more codes. I cleared the one code in case something else came up when I was making that trip. The next morning I had the same issue with Rotor 2 but it kicked on after a little idling and ran with no problems. I drove it back to Houston and didn't have any issues on the way home.
Since having it home its been doing the same thing every time is try and start it, if I restart it right after or a couple of minutes after it doesn't have any issues only if its been sitting for like an hour. I went ahead and changed the spark plugs in case that could have been the issue. Right now I don't know what else to do so I'm hopping someone has some suggestions of what to check or a good shop in Houston to take it to, to have it checked out.

I see you saw the other thread.
Check your coolant level.
Next time it smokes on start up, go smell the smoke, if its coolant it will smell sweet. If so, your motor is toast. Rebuild time.
