Ok, Havent drove the car in around 4 days. Went to start it after it had sat and it turns over for about 6 seconds and finally starts, runs really rough, and then dies. car doesn't start at all after this. I then took all of my plugs out and cleaned them all off. they were soaked as i figured when i took them out. then I turned the car over for about a second to blow the excess fuel out of the engine. Anyway, put the plugs back in and the car still doesnt start. I pulled a plug wire off and put an old spark plug on the end and turn the car over for a brief second to check for spark. absolutely no spark. also checked the other 3 plug wires for spark and they didnt either.

So i reset the ECU by unhooking battery and pumping the brakes and try this again, this time i have bright blue spark on all of the plug wires!! so i put plug wires back on the plugs and try to start the car again, but still wont start. I just replaced the plugs a few weeks ago. Basically I am thinking that somehow i ruined my plugs.

Also wondering how this could even happen? Should i replace coils? they have between 5 and 7k miles on them as i replaced them when i got the car. Just wondering if it may not be getting enough spark or something i am confused.

And another side note, i hooked the battery up to a charger when i tried to start the car the first time. left dome light on, didnt know if this could have possibly lead to the issue..

BTW I have unhooked the ESS and cleaned it, cleaned MAF and my compression isnt low on either rotor. also the car ran perfect prior to this

I honestly think that the car is badly flooded and i may need to push start it to clean it out. would hate to do that

ok, well took the coils off today and they all look to have a burnt spot on the bottom of them, some bigger than others. looks like im going to get new ones and see what happens..

white spots on coils dont mean ****. did you reconnect ess properly? iirc if its unplugged on mis alligned car will not spark

ess was NOT plugged in all the way. finally got it started today. that had to be what it was. also caused it to flood out so i had to do the de-flooding process.
