Default 97 neon dohc runs great till warm

My 97 neon runs great...until it get up to opperating tempature then it begins to smoke and sputter. It smokes white but never loses antifreeze. No water in oil so i doubt it is head gasket any suggestions.As always thanks for the help guys i really appricate it.

Bad coolant temp sensor, pcv, or intake manifold gaskket are my guess's.
