what color is the smoke? Blue your burning oil, bad piston rings, valves.black smoke excessive gas running through engine. White smoke cooling system problem.

It sounds like you have a fuel pressure regulator that is leaking, can you remove the vacuum line to see if there is fuel present?

Let me know what you find
