04 MC SS has trouble idling
Hello everybody!
It would seem that my monte (actually my brother's monte but he's had basic training so its mine to take care of rightnow) has an idling issue. It had been sitting for about 3 months without being started up until this past week. The gas in it is also that old. (Will be putting new gas in it shortly)
What it is doing is it starts up rough, idles fine for a few seconds, then starts jerking around. (Literally making the car vibrate) The rpm's bounce around from 600 or 700 up to anywhere from 1000 to 2000 and then when I think its finished doing that, it stalls out. The only way I can get it started again is if I turn the key and then quickly hit the gas to keep it from stalling out again. It is also leaking antifreeze and I have found that it is leaking from somewhere above the oil filter. It also is displaying in the notice box that it needs an oil change. Also when I start the car up, white exhaust comes out of the tailpipes, but when the motor starts to jerk around and act like its trying not to stall, blueish black smoke starts coming out the tailpipes, and now there is a layer of black sut in the tail pipe itself.
Please help me out!

Okay so it was dirty injectors. I put some injector cleaner in the tank and it is running MUCH better! Thanks for the responses!
