new guy, possibly flooded?
if i do get it back(which im sure i won't) how much does a set of new plug wires run?
good news, FIXED IT!!!! wooot wooot!
a HUGE THANKS to everyone who helped me in this thread! and to all who wrote the DIYs, and Previous flooding troubleshooting posts!
here is what i did, took out plugs again, cleaned em really good again, cranked the car over several times to blow out all the excess fuel, then reinstalled plugs, before i cranked it, i did the windshield washer fluid trick too. this whole time(approx 30 mins) the car battery was hooked to another running car. then i tried to start it, it kicked over, but stalled out. tried again, nothing. after a few tries, and a final 4 squirts of washer fluid in each port, it got it running! wooot wooot wooot $300+ dollars saved!
on a side note, i cut the hell outta my left wrist trying to get the cap off the back service port. it looks like a failed suicide attempt! its pretty damn deep, and got one of the rags nice and bloody!
thanks again everybody! ill probably stick around this forum, i enjoyed the help i got here. the car was bought by her dad, and she isn't allowed to mod it at all! i put a direct FM adapter and mount in for her ipod, but thats about it!
thanks again!

Send him the bill. :P
Glad we could help out and glad you've decided to stick around. Now read the post I did on installing iPod adapters and you can do it without him knowing the difference. :P

i work car audio at Best Buy, the install would be cake, but getting the permission is the hard part.
Show him my car and tell him that is what you want to do to hers.... then when he freaks out and starts to yell at you - go nah, just kidding - all I wanna do is this itty bitty iPod thing.
