white smoke at crusie speeds means burning oil. Hard start ups when the engine is hot usually means a weak battery. White smoke coming out of the pipes when you nail it during cruise speeds is usually bad valve seals, but it will not do this at low speeds or sitting still revving it up.

It sounds funny to me that a fuel pump would make any kind of smoke unless it was on fire. Then theres a different problem. What about a leaking head gasket? This will cause white smoke and hard starts. Just a guess.
