cop shut down

yesterday i was in my expo and had been driving form like 7am until 3pmand at around 3 i stopped at a little convience store to use atm machine and when i went to get back in an start my truck i turned the ignition and didnt i guess let it stay long enough so it didnt start then i did it one more time "back to back if that helps any" and this time i let it stay turned, but only this time it didnt act like it was going to start, so i did it again, now it's just turning over and over and over and wont start, after about 10 min of trying i call roadside asst. he gets there and we try again this time with a boost, same results, but he noticed white smoke comming out the back, ok it's unburnt fuel i know, but not at one time did one of my cop's fire, not one, what would cause that and why if i had been driving all day without a problem then all of a sudden, no fire why, why, WHY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

did you check the vac line on the back of the motor. mine pops off all the time

if the truck dosent start on the first try. its like it kinda pushes air back up the intake and blows the line off. its really big behind the AIC on the back on the motor you have to reach far back there

Wow! Ten thousand RPM is a pretty fast idle.

If people knew what year vehicle and which engine, they may be more inclined to chime in.

Is the Check Engine light on?

Top fuel dragsters idle at less than 10,000 rpm, this sorta sounds like two problems combined at one time to mess his day. 1 PATs, 2 major vacuum leak.
