Default Problem!

My brother has a 95 3.4l v6 camaro with about 150,000 on the dash. It has a rough idle and when he stops at a stop light or stop sign it just acts like it wants to cut off. It also has white smoke shooting out the muffler. So we decided to get a tune-up. We did the spark plugs and wires, changed the fuel filter and air filter and a regular oil change. It still giving us the same problems. What else could i check and replace?

Were thinking about taking it to the dealership so they can run tests and fix the problem for us.

white smoke....you might have a bad piston ring, and be burning some oil....when you take it to the dealership, get them to run a compression test on it
