white smoke is burning coolant from a head gasket from overheating. get a leak down test done to make sure the head gasket is ok

no, a bad fuse or relay would result in no start at all

I just started the car again today without using the gas pedal. Lots of bueish white smoke from the exhaust. Is that the head gasket? If so, do you know about the price it is to fix?

rough bid if you have a head gasket would be between 1200 to 1500
