It could be injectors causing white smoke.
It could be a coolant leak.
It could be a bad head gasket.
Cracked cylinder head or block.
There’s no definite answer to the cause of the white smoke. It could be the injectors, but it could be other things.
You need to do a leak off test on the injectors to check their operation. Don’t just change them for the sake of it.
Same as the head gasket. You can do tests to check it.
Don’t be changing parts on a whim. You need to diagnose the problems first, otherwise you’ll be wasting money on parts that didn’t need changing.
