I'm about to just call it quits!!!

Ok. So, now, on top of my coolant problem from a post yesterday, the car won't star. It keeps flooding. It does crank, obviously. Just put new spark plugs, but when I went to put the wires back on, the wire the trailing plug in rotor 2 wouldn't click on. It would slide on and cover the entire plug, but no click. I'm prety sure that's bad, right? So then new wires?

push a little harder, sometimes it takes alot of force to get them on, and make sure you have them routed properly.. L1 and T1 goto the front rotor and L2 and T2 goto the rear.

try sliding the boot off the actual connector and attaching the connector to the spark plug, then slide the boot back over the spark plug (if the boots are slidable)

they're routed properly, i checked like 3 or 4 times. but that one wire does not want to click on. it just slides the entire way until there's no more room to push because it's at the base of the plug.

One time I was cranking the seven all ******* day, trying to get it to start. It was seriously flooded and nothing was working, battery was getting low and it would stutter then die, I was getting really pissed off.. I looked around at all the sensors just to make sure everything was ok, and the coolant temperature sensor had been unplugged!

Needless to say, with it unplugged it was running crazy rich and couldn't start, so once i plugged it in, it fired right up two cranks! heh..

Check the coolant temperature sensor

Would it possible for the injectors to just crap out? I know they've been leaking. I just got a new set in today. They'll be in tomorrow. But, is it possible that they just crapped out and stopped atomizing the fuel properly? The plugs were drenched when I got them out.
