Went on a 3 day vacation, came home....car won't start

It cranks but nothing happens. I tried the trick in the owners manual about holding the gas pedal down while cranking....stop, crank again. Didn't work.

Car was running absolutely fine before I left.

Where do I start?

Car seems to have battery life as the radio and dash lights all illuminate.

Please help a girl.

And thats why I love my boyfriend, he came home from the grocery store...told him what the problem was and he said "you flooded it didn't you?"

I shrugged my shoulders, and on the first attempt of deflooding...my car started.

He's gettin an extra special bj today. wooo hooo.

Now that's what I call a happy ending - why doesn't my wife do that when I fix her car ?
