everything on the mechanical and electrical side seems to be working in order. Checked, fpr, amm, ets, relays, and computer.

The car has been sitting for a while about, 3 months, and pior to that about 8 months. But the last time it ran fine (3-4 months ago). Yesterday when I started it, it was puffing clouds of black smoke, drove fine but still smoking. Filled it up with 9 gals of fresh gas. Still smoking.

Today it started for about thirty secounds and would not start again (below freezing outside). I am stumped. Fuel relay clicks, get spark ect.

Is there a drain hole in the tank, i have not seen one. The only thing I did different today was put in a bottle of techron before starting it.
