car wont start :[
ok so here's my dilemma. last week my car died as im driving. i lost everything electrical. i found the culprit in that to be the altenator. but here's the kicker: the car has been in my garage, untouched for three days. when i go to start it, it wont start. it turns over, its got spark, its got gas. but it just sits there spinning and it never fires up. i checker the battery, checked the spark plugs, checked everything i can think to check. i know the altenator is bad but it has nothing to do with the car starting, right? i mean, it should start and stay running for awhile before the battery loses power but i cant get it to start. my next step is to tow it and try to push start it but im waiting for some ideas of other stuff to try first. could the altenator of fried something else when it went bad or something? im getting really pissed. any help anyone can give me would be great. thanks.

could be flooded. search for...... **** it I'll just tell you what to do:
1) locate and remove the EGI fuse from the engine bay.
2) crank the engine over for a good ten seconds or so.
3) replace the EGI fuse
4) start the car
you may also have to pull the plugs and put about a teaspoon of oil into the chamber's as well if the previous instructions don't work.
