tried to start car just spits and spudders
06 Acura Tax ran fine this morning but this afternoon when I went out to leave it didn't want to start. When it did start it spits and spudders and doesn't want to stay running without giving it gas, but sounds rough like it's running on 1 cylinder or something. Also is showing the emission light is on and vsa light is on. Any ideas what it could be kinda can smell raw gas when I checked to see if it was smoking which it was kinda white but it's also cold out so idk. I don't think it's bad gas but I know it may be a possibility.

If you can get the car to an auto supply store like Advance or Pep Boys, they can attach an OBDII scanner and read your error codes. The gas smell suggests something is wrong with your ignition system. What is your mileage and what kind of maintenance ha been done recently? Did you add the allegedly bad gas between the morning and afternoon drives? Did you drive through a heavy rain between the two events? Where was this visible smoke coming from?
