everytime I start my car it'll start but the RPM's will quickly drop and it'll turn off, however if I rev my engine usually around 2.5 to 3 RPM's it'll stay on but i notice a puff of White Smoke from the exhuast and it only puffs after i Rev? Any ideas what it might be?

my 99 gt recently started to puff once in a while when starting too. it never dies though. it seems like it is normally only after its been sitting a while +10hrs. I'll have to pay closer attention to the color and smell. Im pretty sure its more white than anything, and no noticeable smell.
