CAR DIED

Please help. I just bought an 83 Z28 with crossfire injection, took it home, and now it wont start unless i keep the starter going for about 30 seconds and give it gas. Then when it does start, it spews smoke from the tailpipes until i try to shift to drive, then the RPMs fall until it dies. WHAT IS WRONG. Please help. Thanks
Matt

Throwing any codes? Are your injectors firing? Getting spark? Check not only the sensors, but also their connections and wires.
