The car shakes really bad when it starts and then idles fast- it wont accelerate when you hit the gas for a few seconds- then shoots smoke out tailpipe and runs fine- could it be a fuel filter?

It sounds like the engine is getting "flooded", meaning that there is too much fuel in the cylinders when it starts.
The cause could be a number of things, but narrowing it down depends on whether it's injected or has a carburetor.
If it's injected, one or more injectors is leaking when the engine is off and you should try a can of injector cleaner in the next fuel tank. If that doesn't solve the problem you may need to replace one or more injectors.
If it has a carburetor, it's probably a stuck needle/float and you should have the carburetor rebuilt.
