car won't start

Hey, today I went to finally pick up my car from the body shop after 6 weeks and now it won't start.It was never a problem the whole time it was there except, of course, today. It cranks fine but doesn't want to catch. I told them to pull the plugs and check if it's flooded. What else should I look for? I don't have time to search because I'm at work right now. Still hoping to take my car home today.

Did they remove the fuel tank or fuel lines while fixing things? If so, you may need to re-pressurize your fuel system. That will happen automatically after cranking for a long time, but that's not necessarily the best thing for your car, so you can prime the system and try it again. There's a write-up on rob robinette's site:

good luck!
