White smoke usually means you are burning anti-freeze; i.e., leaking head gasket. Have a compression/leak down test performed. A jumpy idle could be easily be attributed to components other than plug wires. However, you can easily check the resistance of each plug wire to see if it is within specs. Though I don't know the values right off hand, I would be happy to look the specs for the ignition wires if you need 'em...or maybe someone else out there with a Bentley handy could post 'em. L8R!
