Rx8 won’t start help

Hey, I’ve had my 2007 rx8 automatic for about a month now. Bought it with 105 000 km on it. No I didn’t do a compression test and still don’t know if it’s the engine that went. I was driving it one day it started to shake so I pulled over and turned it off. I supposedly ran outta gas (when it said I had a quarter tank) so my dad thought I spoiled the spark plugs, replaced those, didn’t work, read online, replaced the coils and coils wires, still not working. It was flooded after the whole shaking thing so I unflooded it, and now every hour maybe I can get it started but it doesn’t sound good and I have to feather gas to keep it on while gas fumes with the smell of oil come out of my exhaust and hood of my car. Please help

None of that sounds great, but let's see... can you localize where the smoke under the hood is coming from?

I don't think you ran out of gas, nor would that spoil the spark plugs.

Check engine light? Any codes?
