Anyone have any ideas? car started fine no prob moved it to middle of the garage to put on rear diff brace. lowered the car down again it wouldn't start, i'm getting spark, smell gas, and took starter out and tested it it's working fine. also the last time it started it blew out thin flakes of what looked like carbon deposits out the exhuast. tried pulling the emi fuse to cut off fuel to clean it out in case it flooded cuase it pulses and has thick white smoke that drifts out the back. put fuse in and still nothing.



Any ideas?

It sounds like it's flooded. Just pulling the fuse won't unflood it. You have to take the plugs out, crank the engine to get all the gas out. clean and dry the plugs(or putting new ones is allways better)
