Need help! Evo not running correctly!

I drove my Evo for the first time in a few months today and it wasn't running correctly. The problem is the rpms wouldn't go higher than 4 thousand and the exhaust was also smoking! Any ideas on what this might be?

Is is in Valet mode? (Extra feature added when you get the car tuned)

Wouldn't explain the smoking exhaust.
