Was on the highway going 65mph and car shot out a cloud of white smoke....and began to stutter, then got flashing CEL. Pulled over and shut car off thinking I blew a coil pack...car would not start again. Ran code through OBD using phone and said misfire cycle 3. Had car towed home...changed coil pack and spark plug and car still won't turn over

Checked fuse for fuel pump and it is fine. Car will crank but will not start.

What am I missing here??

White smoke in my experience would be a blown head gasket which would lead to coolant getting into the cylinder.. But this would be on a higher mileage vehicle.

Check to see if you have any coolant leaks also!

what did the plug look like? is the ground strap / electrode still in one piece? if it's squeaky clean looking, then it got steam cleaned = coolant

It's not a battery problem for sure. Most be something with spark, check all the fuses since sometimes when you blow the the coil pack it will take the fuse with it.

is it spinning over real easy? maybe the timing tensioner went, and it's freewheeling?
