Default '98 GS3 no start

My car will start now, but on two seperate occasions it took 10 min to get it to start. The situations prior to the problem were all the same. Ok say for example I parked my car overnight, then next morn I started it and backed it out of the garage, and then it sat overnight again. Then the next morn I go out and it won't start. AFter 10 min of trying it finally starts and a cloud of smoke comes out the exhaust. It happened once when only a year old, and then again the other week. And both times a similar start, sit over night sequence had happened. Also do '98 GS3's have drive-by-wire electronic throttle?
