anyone in the south city area have some time today to help me out? i think the motor is flooded/spark plugs not firing, but i dont have tools or a jack to get them out and check

 

Well try clearing the flood first.

 

i believe the battery just needed to be charged or sit, and it needed to warm up so. i read today that the car requires longer cranking times with the colder weather. i was only cranking for 5 seconds or so, whereas i read people crank for 20 secs or more to induce flooding. i attribute the non starting issues to the weather and short cranking time. when i went home it started up on the first try, because the day before i drove from school back home and didnt boost or run for a short period and turn the car off.

thanks for all the help, at least i know what to do if i really have a problem
