sounds like engine misfire to me. but it takes a mech, driving to tell.
if engine misfires?
try getting a 60k mile full tune up.
open glove box, see opr guide? see service list, see 60k column (it repeats)
bingo.?
filters (air/fuel), fluids, spark parts. (generic list, RTM)
or login to alldata.com and click maintenance then full chart
then see all things in the 60k column, those.
How dirty is your air filter? Sometimes a dirty air filter will make it pull up oil if it can't pull in air. The other thing to check would be the PVC valve. PVC valves are cheap and I would just replace it.
I would start out by looking to see what the color of the smoke is. If it is real black your not getting enough air. Remove the air filter and see if it goes away. If so just change the air filter. If the color is white, then your not getting enough fuel. Start by changing the fuel filter. If neither works you need to start looking into pumps and injectors. I would take it to a mechanic at this point. Good luck.
Clean fuel, clean filters, clean pvc, and since its a '99 try an emissions flush, your e-vap canister is most likely cloggeg, or even a faulty egr valve,
Sounds like there is a load of dirty fuel in that gas tank. Ran good for a while after changing fuel filter, then began to run poorly again. Remove fuel tank, drain and clean out, replace fuel filter AGAIN. That should cure it. Hope this helps
