Car Wont Start

I was driving it about an hour ago and it wont start now. It was running fine. When I try to start it, it sounds like its about to but just cant. After trying for a while i bit of smoke comes floating out of the exhaust. I need to get it started and get back to school. Please help, what could be the problem?

It sounds flooded.
Pull the EGI fuse & crank it at WOT for 15 seconds. Then fuse in & try it.

Also a jump from another battery will spin it faster & that can make the difference.

yep its flooded. Like sure shot said. Pull the last two fuses on the far left towards the passenger side of the car, crank it for about ten seconds while the pedal is on the floor. Should start right up. Keep doing that until you get it. Also, this is very common for these cars so nothing to freak about.
