Default can someone tell me why my car is retarded?

theres something wrong with my car. whenever i start it up, it boggles like at around 300 rpm for like 30 seconds. then it gradually idle's its way up to normal. one time when it was boggling, i stepped on the gas and kept it around 700-900 rpm but alot of smoke comes out of the back and smells like gas.
