After my 2005 dodge magnum sits (lets say overnight) it runs rough and produce white smoke. After several minutes the smoking and rough idling stops. What causes this and what price range to get it fixed

This caused by as leaking cylinder head gasket
White smoke is a sign of water/condensation (due to the coolant additive)......worst case scenario, you have a head gasket leak (minor at this stage), or you simply need a tune up......as white smoke on cold start up could be normal...has it just started happening, or have you only just started noticing it ???
When was the last time it has been serviced (plugs, oil etc)
my magnum is doing the same thing. with the engine light on. had the light checked and im getting, po 406 EGR, po 301 cyl #1, po 305 cyl #5, po 660 Manifold and a coolant valve intake. could this be from a head gasket leak? how much one cost?
You have a leaking head gasket as well most likely, do you have a warranty? this is going to be a real ouch of a job cost wise, well over $1000.00 The longer you drive it this way the worse the damage
