Two issues:

1. Check Engine light is on: EVAP Emission Control System Purge Valve C-Fault (P0443)
What is this??


2. My car has plenty of white smoke coming out when I first start the car in the mornings and when I start the car after it has been run for awhile. The white smoke disappears after I drive on the freeway for approximately 10minutes. It only reappears when I start the car again.


Thoughts anyone? Thanks and i truly appreciate it!
 
Evap solenoid code means you probably have a leak in one of the evap system lines. The canister and solenoid is located under your battery. The white smoke is usually indicates you are getting antifreeze in you cylinders.
 
Thanks for the feedback...

I notice that the white smoke only happens when I turn on the AC. Any thoughts there?

Thanks for the info re evap canister and solenoid bit. Is this something I just replace?
