Moistrure in distributor cap? Next week start and let the car warm up before driving.

How old are plug wires? How many years has the car been exhibiting this behavior?

You may have a slow drip from 1 or 2 of the fuel injectors from the residual fuel pressure in the line.
When you get it started it needs to clean itself out from the over rich condition.
A combination of this and add worn valve stem seals and there you go.
Sounds like this car is calling out for some needed maintenance.

Does it shake as well after you first start it and try to reverse or drive forward?

ill be honest with you guys.ive had the car 3 years and ive been leaving it at the park and ride for 3-4 days for about 2 years now.and havent had this problem till recently maybe within the last 2 months.but this recent time was the worst with the smoke coming out when i hit the gas.when i put it in drive and start to drive when i hot the gas its revving but the car doesnt take off as it should.i can press the peddle down hard and it doesnt accelerate

[Whitecamryghost]

and sorry yes it does shake a little when i first drive it,and it seems like its going to stall out if i dont keep hitting the gas.

How much white smoke is coming out of the exhaust?

[Whitecamryghost]

it was a good amount when i hit the gas to drive to accelerate

[fj62]

Possible head gasket if lots of white smoke.

[RichieRichJP]

Yeah, sounds like you blew the head gasket...

[Whitecamryghost]

i know white smoke means the head gasket,but this only happens when the car sits for a few days,its never happened before and never happens when i drive day to day.and i dont notice any lack of power.

bump

It could be leaking valve stems, fuel would be black smoke. A weeping head gasket makes sense, next time let idle for a while and then see if it takes off normally. The coolant temp sensor could also cause weird stuff like this.

[RichieRichJP]

Leaking valve stems will cause blue smoke on startup.
I know because I have that issue right now with my Camry...
