Sounds like a possible bad injector

White smoke generally indicates steam. Maybe a head gasket is letting water into the cylinder. The pinging would be your piston trying to compress water, which it cannot do.

what else could it be ip need timeing

+1 on a head gasket.

Check your coolant to see if there is oil in it and check your oil to see if there's any sign of water. Either of these could indicate a head gasket failure or cracked block.

Check your coolant to see if there is oil in it and check your oil to see if there's any sign of water. Either of these could indicate a head gasket failure or cracked block.

If these things aren't true, white smoke is also a symtom of bad injectors.
