I have a 1990 Plymouth Laser that had a bad ECU and was sitting for about 2 years. Well, I got a new ECU, bolted it up, plugged it in...Then I did the following maintenence procedures before I tried starting it:
1. Changed oil/filter
2. New Spark Plugs
3. New Spark Plug Wires
4. Coolant
5. Gear oil
6. New Battery
7. New gas (tank was dry/empty already)
8. Timing belt looked new upon inspection
Well, I did all of this stuff and I tried starting it up and it turns over and runs very bad for a few seconds before dying...Then I noticed a small amount of white smoke from the tail pipe...I'm hoping I didn't screw something up. Why the hell isn't my car starting? Did I forget something? HELP! I need to know the possibilities of what could be wrong.
