Car won't start....ATF Trick?

my TII has been sitting in the driveway for about 3 months now. Finally decided to take some time and change the plugs since it wasn't even starting before. Changed the plugs and it started but wouldn't keep idle even if i floored the throttle. Also a lot of white smoke came out of the exhaust. Coolant seal? The wires are fine so is there anything else i should try before the atf trick. Haven't done that before and this will be my first time. Thank you.

Some Replies Would Be Helpful

I just got mine unflooded today. I was able to get it done without pulling the plugs. I got the white smoke for a bit, but it went away. The problem now is she idles lower than before. She is trying to die on me when I come to a stop. Do I need new plugs, adjust the throttle or something else? Any help is appreciated.
