    1989 toyota camry smoke out the dash while turning over and won't start?
    Tried to start 1989 Toyota Camry and smoke came out of vent on dashboard and now the car cranks real strong but won't start.

    If not a Pinched or exposed wire, Check Ignition switch and fuses/Fusable Links.

    Does the starter sound like it's free spinning now? Like much, much faster than it ever has?
    I'm thinking a backfire, then smoke from that ingested into the cowl vents and out the dash vents.
    This would suggest the timing belt let go while trying to start.
    A dash electrical short would give off a very strong distinct smell inside the car. Even some time after.
