The “white smoke” from the exhaust is probably fuel vapor. You could take a whiff to verify. To start a flooded (excess fuel) engine, hold the gas pedal to the floor while cranking the engine. Ease up on the gas as the engine starts.
An erroneous engine coolant temperature sensor could be causing the rich (excess fuel) start. Fuel injectors that didn’t completely close when the engine was shut could leak fuel into the intake during the shut time, and cause flooding. There is a test for that with a fuel pressure gauge.
