I just went to look at the car my mother is going to give me after mine old Buick bit the dust. Me and my stepfather put a battery in it, but it wouldn't start. I ended up flooding the engine trying to get it to turn over before realzing I might burn the starter out.
It sat a few minutes and it finally started up, but once it falls down below 2k rpms it dies out. I also noticed a lot of white smoke from the tailpipe and a gasoline smell coming from the car. I pulled a spark plug and was black as night, but otherwise almost brand new NGK plugs. It did sit for many months. I hoping my uncle will come over and check the fuel pressure regulator and injectors seeing as I don't have any fuel system tools. I'm also hoping all it needs is fresh gas and a can of carb cleaner and a wire brush for the plugs. I noticed no CEL illuminated so thats looking good.
Any ideas of what all I should check before putting some money into this thing?
