the carb cleaner trick!!!

I did a search because my car was having trouble and I read that if you possibly have a fuel problem with the car, just spray some carb cleaner into the intake manifold? I'm kind of confused as to which exact place you spray the carb cleaner into ..

Take out your plugs and see if there soaked in gasoline. I have same problem I'm going to have it towed in a minute.

While you have your plugs out, check to make sure you have spark. It might not be a fuel problem after all. Do you smell fuel when the motor turns over? Spraying anything other that ether in the intake with fouled plugs will not start the car. And I do not recommend ether on a rotary. Vapor lock could damage the seals. Reply back to this thread once you have checked your spark plugs, as well as to make sure they are firing, and we will take it from there. PM me if you want.
