Car won't start, Don't smell any fuel
 
I went to start my car this morning after taking it for a cruise last night with the woman. Last time the engine didn't start it was flooded (smelt like the garage was full of gas) This morning, I didn't smell anything. I tried cranking for a while and did it quite a few times before I gave up on her and threatened to take the Camaro to work :)

I'll give her a go when I get home tonight and do a compression check by hand cranking. My initial thought is the fuel pump, injectors or fuses (also compression although car has been driving like a champ). I didn't have time to check every thing this morning before work but I will check when I get home. Just wanted to see what you guys think.

Sure enough, Got home and what happens... Starts right up. When my fiance came home I walked her through the unflooding procedures over the phone since it wasn't starting for her either. I went and got new spark plugs and fuel filter and I'll put that in sometime this week.
