Sluggish off start blowing smoke?

Please help Need to know why my 2005 F350 is acting weird. Truck sat for a few days then went to use it and now when taking off it is very sluggish and blowing smoke, then after a few seconds it just takes off and everything seems just fine until i stop and start again then same thing happens. Any ideas? Fuel filters, egr valve? Thanks in advance.

OK, what color is the smoke and how thick is it?

Also, you can take engine specific questions to the 6.0L Power Stroke forum.
