Replace the ignition coil. if you want to go all out you should also replace the spark plugs and spark plug wires.

Sounds like you have some valve guide seals bad or broken rings on the pistons that is if it is an oil smoke.If it is a flood smoke it sounds like you have an 02 sensor that has went bad.

Audi a4 1.8t random miss fire

Check out the AboutAutomobile.com site for NHTSA complaints. I believe there was a defect in the cylinder heads for this engine. The redesigned heads have a different suffix letter than the stock heads.

For a time, the Manufactuer was paying for the repair.

I hav 96 toyota cavalier auto,it shuddered and

I don't know if it would cause the shaking and vibrations, but for the smoke it could be loose nuts or broken studs on the exhaust manifold -- when engine is cold check each of the nuts (there should be 8) to see if they are loose or missing/broken; you may have to remove a heat-shield in order to gain access

95 volvo 940 running rough

Have you checked compression on non firing cylinders? Likely has blown head gasket between these two cylinders if located side by side.
