Flooded engine help
Hey last night I just decided to pull out my spark plugs to look at them and they seemed a lil white at the tip. 5 min later I put them back in and the car never started again. I think the engine may be flooded or something cuz now when I pull off the spark plugs they are covered in gas. This morning I switched from Platinum +4's and bought new NGK spark plugs and still nothing. Wont even try to start
While the plugs were off, my sister tried starting the car cuz she was bored but I dont think this has anything to do with it... the car was just fine till it decided not to start anymore. Anybody have any idea what coulda caused this? ohh and now after I try cranking the engine, I hear a buzzing in the engine somewhere until I pull the key out.. Like if I start to crank the engine but doesnt start and then leave it in the accessory mode, there is a buzzing in the engine. Any ideas? Thanks in advanced!

you are just going to have to keep cranking it (with no throttle) until you get some response. Gas will not just dry up like some other liquids might. Good luck tho.

also try starting it with the gas pedal floored... when I was trying to start my car before I bought it it wouldn't start until I held it to the floor and let it crank and crank and crank... then it fired up. i have heard you should try either pedal to the floor or no gas at all... nothing in the middle

yea your car was probably in cold start mode. Try what miata racer mentioned and hold the gas to the floor while cranking...

Mechanic towed it for me... checked it... said that the coil was bad so he replaced it... what the hell? Why would it just go bad? All I did was pull out the plugs then back on....
 ohh well charge for everything together was 110. Car runs nice again :-)
