Sounds like you flooded it. Pull the plugs and egi fuse. Crank it a few times to get the gas out, put pluges and fuse back in. Should start. If it doesn'r repeat but put a little automatic trans fluid in each plug hole.

And it may be a good idea to spend $20 for a new set of plugs, too.

That can work too, it just depends on the severity of the flood.

You don't have to pull the EGI fuse to unflood the car, unless you just want to. Just press the accelerator to the floor. It does the same thing.
