Blue smoke means your oil is leaking past your piston rings. It is being compressed with the air and fuel and burning which causes the blue smoke. Odds are is your piston rings are worn out and your not getting proper compression so your not getting power. basically your motor has to be rebuilt. You can also try engine oil restore that you can get at any local auto parts store. It is supposed to seal up piston rings and restore compression and power. Try it first. Your other option is bad fuel filter not letting you get enough gas. Clogged injectors, bad plugs and wires. There are many things that can cause this situation. Start with your cheaper options first.

1999 cavalier hard starting if hold gas pedal to floor it will eventually start.

Holding the pedal to floor should not do anything because the car is fuel injected...
You may check your fuel filter.. it sounds like its taking along time for fuel to start engine...
The fuel filter is located on the cross member just forward of the fuel tank....

Car won't start

try this, if the car wont start push the pedal all the way to the floor and hold it ther while you crank. It sounds like you are flooding the car some how. Pushing the pedal to the floor puts the car into clear flood mode and it shuts off the fuel flow. try and see just a suggestion
