92 camry wont start
my moms car been sittin in my backyard for 5 months without bein used at all.. my g/fs car broke and so my mom decided to let her drive the car .... it has 130k miles but it was good before ... we started it yesterday ( by jumpin it ) And then after a coupes of minutes it died since we knew it didnt have gas we thought that was the reason and left it alone... today we put some gas in it ... and no matter what we do it cranks but wont start at all... just got some new wires and sparkplugs ,also an distribuitor cap and still wont start ... can anybody give me some ideas of what might be wrong....thanks a lot guys ....

maybe trash in the fuel filter from sucking all the crappy gas off the bottom of the tank,take off a small vaccuum line and stick the end in a cup full of gas,the engine vaccuum will suck the gas into the engine and if everything else is ok(ignition,comression,timing)it will run,if it does run you have fuel problems....that should be enough to get you started in the right direction

thick white smoke is caused by coolant do to a blown head or intake gasket, or crack in the head or block causing coolant to get burned. Oil smokes blue. but if you just replaced the distributor in a camry which im gonna guess is a 2.2 you HAVE to reset the timing that may be why it runs rough. If it were the has it would smoke black. Now i dont know wut anti-smoke stuff you are talking about but it probably only does more damage then good.

my vote= oil rings are gone...if it constanly smokes and you are not overheating or getting pressure in your hoses or losing coolant...
