Maybe it's flooded, try pulling your fuel pump fuse out of the fuse box in the engine bay.... crank it over a couple of times to blow out any excess gas..... throw the fuse back in and try it out. if that doesn't work then maybe your plugs are fouled, try cleaning them up and doing the fuel cut off trick again and hopefully she'll start up. A lot of people install a fuel cut off switch under the dash or inside the car somewhere to prevent having to get out of your car and pulling the fuse. Try searching around the forums, you'll see what i'm talking about.
