I had a continues CEL and then it turned into an intermittent one.
Could you please give me some advice in regards this problem? i am taking the car in to have it scanned and serviced monday morning although i am having it towed tomorrow afternoon.
Thank you for your time and help.

The white smoke and backfire issue would concern me a LOT. You might be dealing with an intermix issue or a damaged head. Don't run the engine until you get it checked out. If it is intermix, you could damage the main bearing to the point of a complete motor rebuild.
