Umm car runs/idles rought for about 2 - min after start up

About 2 weeks ago I changed the spark plugs using good ol AC Delco's it ran like crap but I fixed that prob. One of the spark plugs gap decied to close up on me. So I fixed that prob..

Now about 2 days later after I fixed the gap prob this happened...

Ok here it is my car seems to like to run rough after every start up any more. But say like after I take her arround the block once or twice it seems to go away. Smokes a white color during this period of roughness and black when I give it some gas. During when she running rough she acts like she wants to stall but doesnt It also hesitates till it warms up. When it warms up tho she has no prob running.

Oh yeah I pulled one of the spark plugs today all arround the metal and the part that sticks over the electrode is black abd the insulator is sorta half black half white.

[edit] Forgot to mention the timing is set at 4* and it isnt throwing any codes. [edit]

Ok heres what I am thinking is wrong

1) One of the cooling sensors is shot

2) Neighbour sad it much be a sticking valve

3) Leaking coolant and/or oil down one of the cylenders

Any ideas are really appericated..

Thanks guys
