I had the same problem today...on New Year's Day! Of all days, my car wouldn't start this afternoon. I didn't drive it yesterday, cause it was snowing all day, so it sat in the garage till this morning. Its defnitely not the battery, everything else works fine. Anybody got any other ideas?

try the deflood procedure...if that doesn't work take the spark plugs out crank engine till all gas comes out plug holes reintall spark plugs and start like normal thsi usually does the trick for a flooded engine.
