Update after starting flooded car

Well the starting fluid did the trick with starting my flooded engine up. But now i have another problem. I have smoke rising from the right side of the manifold where the intake pipes go to the engine and where the y-pipe connector is. I did accidently spray starter fluid into the spot where the intake pipes go to the engine, i dont think that is bad because after all your trying to get that **** into the motor so it will start. So could it be the wd-40 and that starter fluid that i sprayed in their causing the smoke? i also have **** load of soot when i press on the gas pedal, that **** made a huge black ball on my garage door! I also worried that maybe that smoke that is coming from the right side of the manifold could be the pulsation dampner. Where the heck is that located anyhow?

The massive smoke is common with ATF and flooded motors. You did this in a garage with the door closed??!? I can't believe you didn't choke to death. How long did the smoke last? 10-15 minutes is not uncommon.

i didnt have any smoke come out of the exhaust at idle, i was having the little bit of smoke coming from the left side of the manifold near the y-pipe and the intake pipes from the box to the motor. If i stepped on the gas then i would see the smoke flying out from the exhaust. I had tons of soot that marked up my garage! i didnt use ATF, i used starting fluid and some wd-40. The wd-40 didnt work but the starting fluid did to start up the car. I just want to know why their is smoke coming from the left side of the manifold where i stated above.

Hmmm. That is the hottest part of the engine, being where the turbos and turbo manifold are, so if any fluid were to be burned, I would assume that the smoke would come from there. If it's just starting fluid or WD-40 it'll burn off without a problem.

Is the motor holding idle ok and not stumbling at all? When mine flooded I had to drive it for ~10 minutes before it was idleing steady and not just dying. Maybe yours just wasn't too badly flooded?
