You might be flooding man, very common. Do the fuse trick.

Bumps are forbidden here in the 2nd gen technical section. your bumps have been deleted

and it sounds like your car is flooded.

Please read the FAQ for FC sticky thread found at the top of this section. It covers how to clear a flood if you do not have your owners manual.

Try making sure your plug wires are in the right order... You don't know how many people have asked me to fix their car for them, and all I had to do was put the wires right... lol

That suggests that the car was flooded.
