Its dead need help quick plz

Alrite i had been gone for a week. It was late when i got home but i dedided to grab the keys and start her at least. She started perfect. Idled good so i shut her off and went to sleep. I get up later and just gonna go wash her so i try to start it. It turns over but it wont start. It finally sputters to 1,000 rpms and dies. Lots and lots of white smoke. I try this thoroughout the day but i cant get it started. It started fine a day ago.

I need some help quickly. Thanks

Compression check if you didn't flood it.

Ok just tryed her again got her started. Smoked like a b*tch but she ran. didnt idle very well at first. Took it down the road about a half a mile and it ran good. Then put it back in the garage it idled good too. Then turned it off and it started right back up. What caused this. Was the smoke just from a crapload of gas.....

Yep. Next time, let the car get up to temp before shutting it off. If a situation arises that you have to shut it off before its warmed up, rev it to about 3.5k with a little gas as possible and turn it off while its at 3.5k. It's worked for me many times.
