Car problems 1995 del sol?

I have a 1995 Honda civic del sol, it has a 1.5L B16D6 engine. So just today, I'm waiting at a stop light, when. It's my turn to go its not wanting to hardly go, and a big cloud of smoke pours out of my tail pipe, when the smoke clears it goes just fine. Any idea what might be causing this issue?

    You're getting oil in the combustion chamber and its not burning clean. once you get it hot enough and more air pumped through it the O2 can combine with the HC's to combust efficiently again, but at idle your filling it up with oil thats preventing good burn.

    Valve train is where to look. (consider exhaust gas to do the same thing, just diffent conditions)

    thats the biggest possible source, others are, how are you plugs/filters/fuel fresh, etc.
