I'd do a compression test first off. The white smoke could be coolant.
Have you been loosing coolant?
Where exactly is the needle on the tachometer, like well below 500?
Does the gas smell come from the exhaust or under the hood?

Well, your answer makes a HUGE difference....My first concern would be a blown coolant seal. Have you checked your coolant level lately? I'm thinking it could be ignitor related if not a coolant problem. ~rich
