Sounds more like the alternator is going bad. Go to Autozone, they'll test it for free...and check your battery while you're at it.

or.
Link a fuel pressure tester, check to see what the fuel pressure is showing. If the fuel pressure regulator is bad it can cause the fuel pressure to be high and have the engine run way too rich.
yes, i do have smoke right when i start the car but after about 5 seconds the is no noticeable exhaust. Ill check out the pressure then check back in.

Alright, just post if you have any results or problems going on.
Ok, so i have good fuel pressure, checked last night. Also replaced distrubutor cap, rotor button, and spark plugs. I bought them a few months ago and forgot to install them. I tested the ignition coil, and all my cables and they all checked out fine, so i think ive pretty much ruled out the ignition system as the source of the problem. I start up the car, it takes a few seconds but it began turning under its own power quicker than it did before. Still runs really choppy, but now its blowing large volumes of white smoke out the back end, and after i shut it off, there is a trickle of white smoke that contines to come out of my tail pipe. Would this be related to the timing on the distrubutor at all? Im damn near stumped on this whole deal, and it's becoming rather irriatating.
