Default Starting issues continues!

We finally had a day here without thunderstorms so I decided to get the Vette out for a drive. Got her uncovered and damn near never got it started. It acted like it flooded right off the bat and the only way I finally got it started was pressing the gas to the floor. It blew alot of whitish smoke when it started. It did this once before, but instead of blowing it out of the exhaust, it did it out of the intake, but did not start that time. Went ona ten miledrive, the car ran fine. No drivability issues at all.Went to the storefor about ten minutes came back out, and it did it again.Had to floor it to get it started. I know the car has the dreaded Multec injectors that are very prone to leak, and there are no stored codes in the computer. Does anyone have any suggestions, or similar stories, about how to fix this. The car has never really started the way it should. One of my friends has ablack 90 6 spd car and it startsperfect everytime, and has 35k more miles on it than mine.I know my car alsohas a reman computer in it as well. Thanks in advance for any input.

I bet you need to replace the fuel injectors. You need to ohm them out.

What range am I looking for, and at what point does a injector need replacing?

16 ohms = a good injector and 15or less = a bad injector but, if they were leaking and fuel was pooling you would have black smoke or unburnt fuel if its white its moisture like coolant[:'(]!!! and that would mean you have and lower intake leak so coolant is pooling and when it does start (if it does start) thus the white smoke, watch your coolant very closely and start it at least 2wice a week to see if it starts going down if it does intake if you prob; mabey vacuum leaks also but sounds like a leaky intake, ohm meter 15-20 at radioshack
