Engine Woes

Ok so I tried to start my Car again and unlike before it turns over. It still does not start though. i can hear the engine turning itself over and i can even hear exhaust coming (of course) from the muffler. I havent done a compression test yet. I have tried the steps to start a flodded motor but was unsuccesful. I think that my engine is blown but it came totally out of the blue as I do not have any performance mods and i completly baby the car. i think that maybe this winter was just too cold and the block got cracked due to the extreem temperatures. Which is another strange circumstace as i just replaced the coolant at the beginning of the winter and made sure to adjust for the coming colder weather. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Are the plugs wet? I'd start by removing them and having a look-see.

I guess what he's getting at is obviously to start trouble shooting fuel system to see if thats what it is and if not keep checking other things until you get a compression test since that will be what really tells you whats wrong.
