1998 mustang GT and when I stop and have the car idleling and then you step the acceleration it throws a cloud of white smoke from your exhaust tail pipes what might be the problem their is it costly?

I would suggest a COOLING SYSTEM PRESSURE TEST as this could be a leaking head gasket if it is WHITE smoke as you say. Black or blue smoke under these conditions would indicate valve seals. Have you noticed the antifreeze to be getting low? Do you notice a sweet smell in this smoke? Antifreeze steam has a sweet odor to it.Yes it can be expensive BUT get a couple of opinions.

How do you fix a poor acceleration and idling problem?
I experienced poor acceleration in my '95 Chevy blazer, which eventually became so severe that when accelerating, the engine nearly stalled.It turned out that my catalytic converter was disintegrating, and choking off the exhaust so severely that the backpressure was causing engine retardation. I took the vehicle to a muffler shop, where they performed a backpressure test on the exhaust to diagnose the problem. After replacing the catalytic converter, the problem was corrected.

What causes a 1993 5.0 mustang gt with the 302 engine backfire between 50 to 70mph?
Unburned fuel is igniting in the exhaust, you may have a fuel metering problem, or a timing problem. If the timing chain is stretched it could throw off the spark timing at high rpm.
Why is your car making a whirring sound especially during acceleration?
Depending on what kind of "whirring" sound you are referring to, it can either be your catalytic converter or some problem with the exhaust system. Most likely the catalytic converter if its what I'm thinking of.
