My Car wont start -_- HELP
does anybody live locally, like orange county ish, and want to come take a look at my car?
i didn't even do anything to it, went to start it today, and it cranks, but doesn't start, sounds like it isn't igniting right.
can anybody help me???

Are your plugs decent? Push the pedal all the way down to the floor 
and crank her, if she doesn't fire up a bit your plugs might be very fouled up or there may be another problem.
S5's disable the fuel injection when you hold the pedal down on start ups to ease flooding
best of luck

take a wire brush to them, if you have alittle gas laying around I've used that to clean them, dont need much you know just push alittle in a container to keep the plugs moist, seems to get the muck off.
You should replace them but do this, then try to fire her up with the pedal thing, if works then you just had fouled plugs =D
I'd suggest to get new ones if she still has alil trouble starting even with the pedal trick, happened to me like that

While you have the plugs out, pull the Fuel Injection Relay, with the pedal to the floor crank the car for 10 seconds to clear the chambers of any fuel that has puddled in the bottom. Reinstall relay and plugs and try to start. Good luck.
