Exclamation She Won't start?

Car has run fine. Last start up was to pull out of the garage to clean it and then put it back in the garage. I thought it might be bad plugs, so I changed them. Still won't start. Battery is charged and all power connections are good. I pulled the fuse and the plugs and made sure it was not flooded. Turns over and sounds like it's going to fire, but just won't. Any help would be very helpful. Thank you.

If it was flooded, I cleared it. "I pulled the fuse and the plugs and made sure it was not flooded"

Serously, just sounds like a flooded engine.. just because you cranked it over without the egi fuse doesn't mean its not flooded.

Put NEW spark plugs in there, and poor alittle bit of motor oil or aft into the motor.. about 1 table spoon worth, crank it over a few times without plugs.. then put the NEW plugs in.. should fire right up.. if not.. try sparying some starter fluid into the upper manifold via the vac line on the top left.. replace the vac line and fire it up..

Hope that helps.. if not.. check compression and make sure your getting spark and fuel.

All the symptoms are saying it is flooded. I will try the starter fluid and the atf. Thanks for your time Monsterbox and trainwreck.
