Car wont start
I hopped in my car on saturday night and went to start it up and it didnt fire up. It turns over ok but no fire. I pulled the spark pluggs out to check them and they are corroaded so i just replaced them today. I try to start the car back up and it doesnt start again but it still turns over. I smell gas so its getting fuel but it must be something electrical what could it be?

Here we go again. What year is the car? How many miles?
You said you changed the plugs after the first no start attempts, did you do the deflood procedure cause it kinda sounds like you flooded it, changed the plugs, and it's still flooded. Back to the first occurance................can you remember the last time you drove or started it before it wouldn't start? Was it a start up just to move it a short distance without letting it warm up?

I am by no means and expert, and this assumes your battery really is okay................but I would suggest you pull out the new plugs and do the de-flooding procedure I link for you in the above post. It's either that or you can try push/pull starting it if it's a manual transmission, but I would try the procedure in the TSB first. Anybody else wanna chime in???????
