Engine Problems it will start but wont run. PLEASE READ HELP!!!

Thanks for coming back and posting your solution, mexpelon!

And I have to apologize to you for steering you away from the ECM in my very first reply. It's just not a common problem. I guess someone (or me) should have connected the Viper to a possible ECM problem. But you said it suddenly stopped. Dunno. Rats.

But it's great to hear you got it running! White smoke from under the hood could be a leaky coolant hose. Any antifreeeze odor? Oil odor? Get a flashlight and take a good look under the plenum. See if there are any suspicious colors or puddles in the valley.

And ... $317??? Not bad, indeed. Plus, the NICO education was free.

Oh no problem at all man.... and yeah its not bad 317 and more from a dealer shop I thought it was going to be more expensive lol.....

I smoke I know what is causing that.... its the water that I mentioned in the thread earlier that is on top of the engine. Its common sense that when water gets hot it evaporates so I am going to get a tube that is used to stuff turkeys and I am going to suck all of that water out... I believe that its water left behind from the time that one of the different mechanics took that apart.... I AM SO HAPPY TO BE BACK IN MY Q45 lol.

I fab up a long straw like attachment for the shop vac to get that water out of the valley.
