Re: white smoke
The first thing you need to do is pull your valve cover off and check to see what color your oil is. If it's milky white, you're burning water meaning your head gasket is blown. I don't have my book at the office with me, so I can't remember what would be causing the pgm-fi light to be on. But defenitely check that and pull your spark plugs to see if there is oil deposited on them.

Re: white smoke
just pull the oil cap off and look at the bottom side. no need to pull the entire valve cover off

Re: white smoke
Then you might want to check your exhaust gaskets. And make sure the bolts are torqued down to specs.

Re: white smoke
white smoke indicates coolant being burned. definitely a gasket problem
