Changed the fuel filter lately?. I have been caught with that one myself.

really? your misfire,and puffing blue/white smoke was just a clogged fuel filter? I will get one asap!

When I removed the filter it looked ok visually. Installed new one and everything was good. With the bad element I had very poor acceleration and white/blue smoke that i could see in the mirror. It is also the cheapest place to start when there is nothing else obviously wrong.

Let us know if this fixes the problem or move to the next step.
