Hello, I just bought this car and no nothing about it. It blows out white smoke that smells of gasoline and I always have to keep my foot on the gas when I am trying to start it or it will stall. Also, sometimes the miliage gauge won't go up or down. Other times, it acts fine but the gasoline smell is still there. Any ideas on what could be wrong with it and how much it could run me into fixing it? Thank you for your time

You have your gas and oil mixed. You keep dying because the plugs are always fouled up by the gas. To the very least, I believe that you have bad piston ring.

I wish I can tell you the cost of repair. No one really knows until you have someone tear the cylinder heads and check all cylinders. All I can say for certainty is that it won't be cheap.
