    Does it have a MAF sensor or anything? To check timing you need a timing light and a manual. Not sure why it would of randomly jumped timing that bad though.

    You said you replaced the fuel pump and filter, you're getting strong fuel pressure? No kinks?

    You said you have spark. What does the smoke look like? Check the oil and coolant, it's all good? When you say smoke is it out of the exhaust or the engine is smoking itself? Does it sound normal when starting over?

    I'm not sure about the MAF, this is the first car I've ever done work to. I don't know how the timing could have gotten off to the point where it won't start. At least overnight that is. I'm getting strong fuel pressure and there are no kinks. I inspected the entire line. The smoke went away. It was white and coming from the exhaust leak where we spot welded it back on for a quick fix. It sounds normal when starting, it just won't fire up. :/
