you may be looking at a new motor, i spent weeks and weeks on my friends supra where there was oil in the vaccum lines/intake, the car reaked of gas, his anti freeze resivior was bubbling like it was boiling water, it even changed the colour of the anti-freeze in 1 week, he had a cracked head gasket, 2 blowen valves in the head, in the end it was cheaper to buy a used motor then fix the one he had.
your idling weird at stops is ithier your egr valve seizing up you can test it by buying a special compression tester and put pressure on it to see if its releasing, or check all the vaccum lines for cracks,indents, or holes. its a vaccum problem
for blue smoke i would get a compression test done on the motor cause does it smell like burning antifreeze usually blue smoke is a cracked head gasket, you can check this by looking at your dip stick if the oil looks like its glisening then you have anti freeze in your oil, or if your oil level some how went up.
is it turboed?
