i did check the battery and even tryed jumping it with my friends car but still nothing . i didnt start the car before putting it in and when he was done it wouldnt start . but what could be flooded? and it sounds like its spinning and not catching . because before when it started it had a different sound . now its just like spinning .

Test spark with a spark tester, or pull the wire and hold it close to the shock tower while someone cranks (be careful not to get shocked).
