Default Lots of smoke. Acts like the pedals stickin. Revs and

Ok so somehow I fixed my starter motor today by trying to pull start my car. Dont know how but it fixed it. Now the car can turn on usually have to crank on the starter for quite awhile. but then it has a real rough idle(sometimes dies). And when I press on the accelorator it revs really high and just stays there for awhile then comes back down to a rough idle again. Its also smoking alot out the exaust.

have you checked the power wiring for the starter motor? when your car revs (rough idle) your computer should eventually relearn the programming to control so don't step on the pedal and rev it more. when i last disconnected my battery it did the same thing, if you wait it should smooth out and eventually won't happen after a few starts. or it could just be something else.....
