97 Ford Taurus Issue

I let my girlfriends friend take out the car not to long ago. She says its over heating but today I checked it out. The temperature gauge is near the cool reading after letting idle for about 10 to 15 minutes. There is antifreeze in the car, the motor oil is full and the transmission oil is full.

The car is running very very rough, noting seems to be leaking. When I put it into drive, it gets even more rough seems like its about to stall out but then kicks in, but runs more rough while in drive than running on idle. The only thing i see it a white cloud of smoke that putts out for the exhaust. Not to sure what the problem could be. Anyone have any ideas?

you only need one post rob!!!
