Angry 1988 Mazda RX-7 SE non turbo....

Ok, I have a 1988 Mazda RX-7 SE non turbo. Well when i go to try and start it,the car turns over fine and dandy..it starts to shoot out a little smoke and trys to crank over and fire up but no matter what i do it never starts and stays running. Does anyone know what my problem could be? And does anyone have any clue on how to fix it? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

my e-mail is Bradlb101@lowrider.com

thank you!

is it getting spark or fuel? How about compression? Is the smoke black or blue?

Have you ever driven it?
the smoke could mean either oil, coolant or just really flooded... I think it might just be flooded really bad -Gabe

if its just flooded, go to the main fuse box under the hood and pull the ignition fuse, crank her over a few times, then put the fuse in and start her. if that doesnt work get a compression test done and see where you stand
