My car idles rough when idling and with white smoke coming from the tail pipe.

This happened to my car twice. No engine light on and it doesn't shut down just white smoke out the tail pipe that smells like gas, a little shacking, and the idle seems off. After a while it stops doing it. Please help!!!

If you haven't changed the fuel filter in the last 30,000 miles, you should now. Our 1997 ES300 with 120,000 miles had similar symptoms that cleared up after having the fuel filter was replaced!
