z28 engine problem

Hey fellas. I need some help. whenever I go to start my car it takes me about 15 trys before i can get it to start. sometimes it will turn over and chug real slow and then smoke comes out of my air filter. any idea's?
thanks.

does it run good once you get it going?

sounds like a timing problem, i would say its probly an optispark problem. is there any evidence that your water pump is leaking?

Do the V6's even have an opti?

yes it does, but his profile says CAMARO...nothing about Z28, and I know that people get confused on this board alot....someone on here asked what the hp was of a 2.8l Z28? so WTF?

sorry it took me so long .... but yes it runs fine once it starts.

I'm thinking something with the ignition, the smoke could be from the engine flooding from you trying to start it that many times.
