car wont start

IF any one can help, that would be great. ok my fd doesnt start. the motor cranks. sometimes there would be smoke coming from the motor. also if it starts there is so much smoke comming out of the exhaust. the smoke is white. All the gauges read that the oil and the collant were good. the car has been siting for a couple months. so the oil might be bad. i checked the oil and it was pretty bad, but i put some in there. there wasnt any collant in the oil.
IF any one knows anything please help me out
THANKS

Starting problems could be partially caused by fouled plugs.
Have you smelled the smoke to see if it has a sweet smell (coolant)?
Does the smoke clear up after the car hits operating temp or does it keep smoking?

the white smoke is from fouled plugs and old gas. changed the plugs and put new 93 in. as long as you didnt disconect anything and it ran before you put it away, its just the plugs and gas...


good luck
