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?

Any ideas what it might be? I've heard of changing spark plugs to be a solution, but not guaranteeing it's your problem. It's because sometimes the seal on the plugs go bad, and allows oil to leak inside the combustion chamber. Sometimes you can burn such a small amount of oil that it appears white. What does it smell like? "Charred-ass" smell would be oil, coolant usual doesn't have that room clearing smell, as it's mostly water.
