she starts fine when shes cold, once the engine gets hot when you let off the gas the engine back fires (loud pops) and alot of smoke pours out, and it woant hold idel and will just stall and if i try and start the car back up it woant start. (it holds idel when its cold but woant only when you take it for a hard run)

Whoa... ok... start with the basics, check compression, replace plugs, wires, fuel filter, air filter. Set your TPS!!!, check your BAC, check for vacuum leaks.

That should fix her up.

what's the color of the smoke? You may be flooding out.
