rough idle and white smoke on mornings

Postby jessyjames » March 17th, 2009, 10:03 am

need some advise, I have ah mazda b2500 jus approaching 100000k. it starts easy in the morning but i get ah rough idle and white smoke from the exaust. This last for ah few seconds and goes back to normal. I have recently changed timing belt, diesel filter and cleaned the strainer but problem still persists. also there is little or no water loss from the radiator.
