Unhappy Problem on my FD

I drove my FD yesterday out and this morning the car is not able to start anymore. When i turn the iginition, it make the sound and i do smell gas but it won't start.

Does anyone in here know what kind of problem it could be?

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.
