Okay car starts, idles fine, then will dip and sound likes it about to stall… Any ideas. A bit of smoke coming from the exhaust. ---

vaccum leak causing unstable idle possible dumping to much fuel into motor. is it dense smoke or just evaperating after exiting the exhaust? motor not timed properly, different sensors, get a digital occiliscope and start backprobing wires. have fun ---
