Take it to your mechanic. Sounds like it's running too rich. Your mechanic has a scanning tool to find the answer why it's running rich. (Code Scanner). Good luck

SOURCE: my kia sorento is white

this is usually the sign of a blown head gasket. you may also want to check your catalytic converter . look for signs of water in your oil by checking your dip stick. if your oil is a brownish color or you see water on the dip stick, your head gasket is blown and the rough idle is being caused by water leaking into the combustion chamber. when engine coolant is burned it gives off white smoke and it gives off a kind of sweet smell from the exhaust. if the exhaust smells more like oil, piston rings may be the cause. a compression test will help get you on the right track.

I have a 2005 Kia Sorento under excelliration it blow a lot of black smoke could it be the intercooler leaking as i check the oil regularly and it never uses any,

black smoke is over fuel and in a diesel with a turbo that indicates that
1 the turbo variable vanes are not adjusting to low rpm
2- the turbo turbine wheel is not spinning up
3-the intercooler or hoses are leaking boost air
4-- bad injectors -- squirting and not atomizing

Why is my Kia sorento starting to blow out black smoke.? I have had no loss of power

Black smoke means you have too much diesel in the mix that is being ignited. This can be because either too little air is getting in or too much fuel is going in. First step (easy and cheap) is replace the air filter. If there's still smoke check the erg valve is clean and moves easy. If it's still there after that then check the common rail injectors for leakage.
