No Spark? please help.
 
Ok first off i have an '04 gt with 70,000 miles on it. has OEM plugs wires and coils, which i know need replacing anyway, but i need to know if i need to take my car to the dealership.

I left for thanksgiving and on the morning i left i let my car warm up for 3min and and than parked it in the garage, revved to 3,500 rpm and turned off. I come home and go to drive and all it does is keep turning over with no sputter or anything. So I figure i flooded it, so I go through the de-flooding procedure (take out plugs, remove fuel relay, crank until no gas comes out, re-install and go) after all that I get a VERY slight sputter, and then just keeps cranking with nothing. Idk what to do now and have spent hours searching and have work tomorrow for which i need my car... Please help out guys. Thanks a lot

Dude you let it warm up for 3min then reved it and shut it off? lol you flooded it! De-flood it. Thats why I tell people not to rev it and for peets sake let the car warm up

Well james if you have a strong battrie keep cranking it till it turns over. Crank it and count to 10. Stop then let the starter cool off for like a min or two. Then crank it again. If that dont get it going then the plugs are shot and you'll need some new ones before you can geter going. Or you can remove the cord that squirts washer fluid and plug it into the nipples on the side of the intake manifold. Squirt it and count to 5 well you crank it. Then do the other nipple. Now keep cranking it. Check the diy section for deflooding.

There ya go. Check them plugs. They might be bad due to the flooding. Yes even a new set can go bad.
