i know white smoke= runing to rich.. i dont have the money for an afc.. but there is someone that will use an afc on my car and then take it off after he tunes it.. will that fix the problem for running rich??? or do i need to buy and afc??

the AFC cant tunethe ECU.. it fools the ECU so in other words you cant tune it then take it out it needs to stay in there.  taking it out puts the car back to stock

and you say it's white smoke?  smell it, what does it smell like? check your coolant level.

yep. white = lean and/or coolant aka quite possibly your head gasket is gone. run a compression test.
