Default Slow dead like acceleration, lots of smoke

I have a 1990 v6 wagon. When I try and accelerate it feels like the brakes are on and a ton of smoke blows out of the exhaust.This just started all of a sudden and I have no idea where to start. Anyone ever experience the same situation? Any help is appreciated.

check the oil, coolant, and i guess other fluids while you're there.
it sounds to me like a hose maybe broken or that you have a blown head gasket. please dont drive it.
