So I would like to lay a challenge
I have an issue with my car that it's not starting.
I haven't checked the voltage yet at the battery, but here's what's happening
When I attempt to start the car, the starter kind of buzzes a bit, cranks once or twice, but doesn't kick the engine enough
I try again, same thing, and then it stops cranking after a few seconds of having the ignition on, like the battery is dead
Seems like the battery?
Well I pop the hood to jump it, charge the battery for a bit off my brother's alternator, and try to crank again and a billow of smoke explodes from below my intake manifold area somewhere, and same thing. It cranks a few times, but doesn't start

What do you think it is? Lets take guesses before I post the final result! I will answer the questions I can if you ask
