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.

Where is the smoke coming from? If it's the engine you may have bad valve covers or something is burning up from under the hood. Check the source and check it fast. If it comes from the tailpipe you may have a catalytic converter problem.
