what color smoke, blue is oil, black is from running too rich or lean, either way, smoke is no good, but at that price ya cant complain

Yeah, I put way too much oil in my car cause I have a slight oil leak. I had white smoke huffing out of the exhaust, and some vibration when I rolled out from a stop. Check the oil level, could be that you have too much oil in thurr.
Also, put your hand next to the exhaust, then smell your hand. If it's got a sweet smell to it, chances are(hopefully not) that your coolant has mixed with your oil. Or you have a blown head gasket.
