Welcome to FTE. Be patient and someone here will get you the help you need.

Is the check engine light on?
Have it scanned anyway. It may some codes stored.

Unplug the MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure) sensor on the firewall to see if it gets better. It lives right next to the HVAC box and has a small rubber hose and an electrical connector going to it. The rubber hose comes from the intake manifold.
If it runs better you might have a leak in the MAP system.

30 sec of smoke @ start up and blowing smoke at upper rpms sounds like o-rings, do a search and you will find alot of info on how to best diagnose if that is truly your problem
