Bought car today drove 25 miles to gas station filled with gas, started drove 5 more miles home car ran great. Shut car off came out 20 minutes later to recheck oil and tranny fluid. when started car to check tranny fluid it smoked heavy and idled rough so I shut it off waited a couple minutes while checking things out. Tried to restart car , it will turn over but not start. Pulled plugs, a little wet and getting orange spark.

Orange spark usually means a weak coil or not enough voltage to the coil.
