Ok guyz, the diagnosis looks grim. My car wont start, it started with it not starting when it was warm every now and then so I thought it was a problem with the warm start assist, now it wont start at all. All was fine today then I go to get in it after it sat for a few hours and nothing just cranking and a strong smell of gas. Im pretty sure its flooding out and I dont know why. The car has compression (you can hear it pop with the leading plugs out while cranking) and it has spark (although it looks kinda weak) but I get nothing when I try to start it. Eariler today all was well it ran fine nothing out of the ordinary. Im all out of ideas here guyz anyone have a damn clue? Worst comes to worst ill find an engine to put in it, most likley not a rotary because I dont have like 4 grand to drop on it right now.

I'd say a bad thermostat, it shuts the car down and keeps it from starting when the engine gets too hot. I'm assuming if that goes bad it'll keep the car from starting.

I just put a new thermo in it like not a month ago, unless both coils are too weak to ignite the air fuel mix im at a total loss, I thought it might be the pcm coolent temp sensor telling the computer the engine was cold thus flooding itself out, but I unhooked it (to read full hot) and the damn thing still wont start, im loosing faith lol

Getting into temperature sensors isn't my strong point, but when i say thermostat i mean anything that measures temperature (not the actual thermostat). I'm assuming that pcm sensor (i'm not even sure what that is or where it's located) is what tells the engine to also shut off when it gets too hot as well as telling the ECU to go into cold idle mode.
