A puff of smoke came from under the hood of your 1986 trans am and now it will not start with the clutch pedal engaged what could it be?

if it doesn't even crank over, I'd check for a burnt out fuseable link down by the starter. if it cranks, but won't start, I'd define the question as to what kind of smoke. coolant or electrical. a coolant puff might mean blown head gasket, and electrical smoke could be many different things.

Why does new clutch smoke on 1986 jeep just installed?
First you may have gotten oil or grease on the disc or clutch friction plates. Next check your adjustments, the current pedal adjustments may not allow the clutch to sit properly on the disc, as a clutch wears ofetn people will adjust the pedal travel to allow a few more months use out of it, you will nee to back it off.

Honda CRX wont go in to gear?
check if it will go into gear when the engine is turned off. if it will then it is most likely that your clutch cable has become frayed or snapped. your clutch cable runs from the back of the clutch pedal through to the bell shaped clutch housing. you can also tell if its snapped by finding a piece of the cable, not covered in protective coating and gently pulling. If the clutch pedal comes back up when you take your foot off it, it's not snapped. It's either WAY out of adjustment, or your clutch is burned out. And if it's the clutch, your car will have this unbelievable stench. Now, if you push down on the clutch pedal and it goes straight to the floor and stays there, it's definitely the cable. If you DO have that stench, go to Home Depot and buy a can of Zep Smoke Eliminator. It's the only thing I've ever found that will remove the horrible smell.
Why do I smell smoke like emergency brake in garage from car?
Sounds like you may be slipping the clutch or over reving the engine when the clutch is partially engaged ? The Forester has a weak clutch plate compared to the 170 HP that some of the engines produce and it is easy to burn the clutch which gives off an acrid burnt smell like brake pads in an emergency. I get this sometimes when reversing a large trailer or caravan, however the clutch still works so only replace this when it really needs to be replaced.
Why would a clutch smoke?
Because it is starting to slip and is ready to burn out.

Why does your 1996 dodge van 1500 3.9 smoke when you push the pedal?
I assume you mean smoke out the tailpipe. blue smoke = oil in combustion chamber. (maybe valve stem seals etc) white smoke = coolant in combustion chamber. (maybe head gasket etc) black smoke = fuel leaking out into exhaust or something worse like bad rings etc etc, could be lots of things.
Why does 1985 ranger run fine with clutch pushed in but when clutch is released motor runs very rich and has black smoke out exhaust and runs rough?
When you release the clutch, you apply load to the engine. Running rich and black smoke when a load is applied are indicative of a need for a full tune-up (new spark plugs, air filter, etc).

How do you stop the black smoke coming out of the exhaust when you accelerate on your diesel truck?
some black smoke is normal, however, if you think yours is smoking more than normal, have the timing of your injection pump checked, you could be dumping too much fuel.... The heavier you accelerate the more smoke you'll make regardless of injection pump settings so get the injectors right and lay off the pedal.
