I was driving and it seemed as if there was hesitation when I stepped on the gas. The next time I drove my vehicle , I backed out of my drive way and started to drive down the block there was all this smoke coming from the exhaust !!!

I need to know the color of the smoke. If it is white, you may have a blown head gasket. If it is blue, that tells me you are burning oil. If it is black, the engine is most likely running rich (too much gas)
