White smoke even after it's warmed up? If yes, you are burning coolant.

Blown head gasket.

yes i have a ses light its showing a cam position sensor code p0343, i dont mean to be rude but i know its not a blown head gasket cause im not loosing any coolant at all and my oil isnt milky like it would be if i had a blown head gasket or intake gasket.

i have been told to check to see if i have an injector stuck open and i unpluged them individually and it never stoped smokin. i know ive always been told that if its white smoke then its moisture meaning a blown head gasket but im not loosing coolant and it has an extreme gas smell out the exhaust so im thinkn the white smoke is fuel vapor but im not sure if any 1 knows what it could b please tell me

You didn't state in your original post that you weren't losing coolant or that the oil wasn't milky. I/we advised on the info you gave.

It is possible to have a blown head gasket and be pumping coolant just slightly into a cylinder-and not into the oil. Before you see coolant level drop in the radiator, it'll try to replenish itself from the overflow tank.

Does the engine rev up well? I'm wondering if you might have a bad cat.

We could help you more if you provided all the details of the problem and what you've checked/eliminated already as well as all the info on the car like mods, whats factory original and mileage.

To check if your injectors function:

With the engine running, place the flat end of a large screwdriver on the body of an injector, then place your ear to the handle end and listen for a rapidly repeating "Tick" sound. No "Tick" = No function.
