Default Car starts funny! HELP!

I started my car this morning and its wasnt sounding right. The check engine light came on and it idles really low. Car shaking much more than normal and I noticed white smoke comming from exhaust. More than normal. I cant check the oil level becuz its still to dark. Does anybody have a clue what this could be. The car is stock no mods. Oh yeah, I also smells like really strong gasoline while its on.Any info would be appreciated.

ok I recieved the code p0202. turns out it was the #2 injector. I dont understand how this happened. I pulled it and put it back in. Everything seems to be fine now. However, should I go ahead and replace it?

how many miles are on the car? it's possible that the injector went bad. before spending the cash on injectors though, throw some injector cleaner in there and see if it helps. after that, reset the ecu and see if the code comes back. if it does, then you probably need new injectors

Well if you are still under warranty and have no mods like you say, I would take it to the dealership and have them give you all new injectors. Problem solved.
