Unhappy Smoke No Start

I finally got my car started again the other day while it was running it wouldnt idle so i just blocked it at 1500 rpm after about 5 mins there was some white grey smoke comming from the defrost vents up by the windshield so i shut it off and now it wont start any more. I tired starting fluid and the engine catches the s. fluid then drops off once its all burned.

ummm have you checked for vac leaks?
possibly your fuel filter is clogged and you only get a little fuel then it cuts off

what have you tried?

yeah i think theres a few vac leaks but no major ones that i can find. The fuel filter is brand new. I was starting before the smoke but still wouldnt start with out the starting fluid. I have it set the way the vac map says not sure whats up with it.
