I have tried that many times still won't start. I even bought new plugs, checked for spark...

I have not been able to get this car started for over a week now.

I have tried to start it... Flooded it... Pulled out bttm plugs cranked it over until it was not flooded with egi out...
Then put plugs and egi back in... Still won't start. I have to jump the car off my grand marquis while doing this my battery is dead. My battery gauge when key in not cranking is just over half way.. Goes down under half when I crank it.

Does it matter that I have my car jumped from my grand marquis?? Will there be enough juice to get it started this way or do I need to buy a new battery? The only reason I didn't buy a new battery already is I don't want to kill the new battery if it still doesn't start. I would rather wait to buy the new battery once I get it running..

Can it be my starter??

Ok a quick update, My car still won't start.
Car isn't flooded right now. I had the battery test by 2 differeent places fully charged and capable of holding charge too.
I am getting spark..
Car just won't start.

Here is last time it ran..
I started it and just let it idol for 5 minutes in my driveway. Shut it down...
Two days later I get the plates for it.. Go to start it...
Wouldn't start... Kept trying to start it flooded it... Since then I can start it..

Any help..
What can it be..
My alternator??
Maybe a bad wire??
Help me plz...

1. Stop freaking out

2. Stop putting NY in your replies. No one cares.

3. It's 'idle' not 'idol'

4. You flooded it because you shut it off before it was properly warmed up. What year is your car? If it's an 89-91 then all you have to do is floor it all the way while cranking it over. If not then keep trying to unflood it the way you're doing, but remember to hold the throttle open. When you do this you'll let the most amount of air through the engine to clean it out faster. Either way buy yourself a battery charger.

5. Searching is a good idea too.

You lost most of your compression because the fuel cleaned the oil out. Put 2 onces of 10W30 oil in each lower spark plug before you put them back in after the procedure mentioned above, crank engine, put EGI back in and start it. Smoke will go away after a couple of minutes.
