I flipped my car about a month ago and it hasn't moved or started since then but today while I was jumping it off to see if it would start it finally did and after a few seconds of it being on it turned back off. While it was on it was blowing white smoke out of the exhaust pipe. That is all it will do.

Does the white smoke smell pungent? If so, you may have a blown head gasket.
