Default HELPP! car lost power and is smokeing :S

last night i was driveing home begind some slow *** person, so givin the chance i floored it and passed them. i noticed i didnt get much power out of the car so i looked at the rpms and they were at 0....
best word i can use to describe it now is bogging. sounds like a tractor now and has no power. theres smoke comeing from the engine but cant tell where from.

anyone ever had a similar problem or can shoot a few guesses to what it may be?

car is a 92 sc400. all stock

we need much more details please.

Does your car start fine? Does it rev normally in neutral? Does the engine shake?
Is it blowing out white or other color smoke from exhuast? ETC...........

more details the better.
