Engine Idle rough then stall
 
Hello, first time here. Recently my FD has been having trouble starting up. i would have to rev it for about 5-10 seconds until the idle is normal. in the video you will see white smoke coming out of the exhaust. this has been happening before the idle issue. i took the car to a rotary mechanic before all this happened because my previous motor was bad when i bought it, i trust him and dont think anything is wrong with the motor, i think it might be faulty spark plugs. any suggestions?

The idle speed seems quite low. I can hear a slight miss until you gave it some throttle on warm up and White smoke indicates running rich.

I'd say if you don't know when the plugs were last changed, replace them 👍
