87 GTA 5.7 no start/idle issues
Starts only when I crank it while givin it a lil gas,then I have to keep the revs up or it will stall.Smells too rich and upon first start and a lil blue smoke comes out that smells like gas.I replaced TPS,MAF burn off relay,fuel pump relay,cap,rotor,ign coil,and still no start.It has started once or twice and ran fine so I am done guessing. HELP PLEASE,also it only has 60000 original miles and is stock and has until now sat in storage since 1999.

I didnt prep it ,I bought it from a muscle car dealer and it did run beautiful for a month or so and now this starts bout 2/3 weeks ago.It still does run and drive great WHEN it does start.I have no code reader nor does the engine light come on?

It does not have the digital dash, I am wondering if the timing could be off or maybe the plugs are needing to be replaced? I am a backyard mechanic and not a pro so.........
