car won't start!!!! help
 
i mentioned before about my car having speratic stalling problems..... and that after a little bit i can start it just fine.... WELL, never got a chance to unload my fuel injectors like everyone told me and now I can't even start it.

I'm stuck at school with my car in the same parking spot. It cranks so the battery is fine, after cranking is so much i started to smell gas. so the fuel pump is working and i'm assuming the fuel injectors are working. i am about to go check the spark plugs to see if there is a spark... ANY ideas? i miss driving my car :( people who give me rides, can't drive ;)

Check your spark and get back to us.

It's cranking huh? Yes check the spark. How old is your battery? is everything plugged in right? You say you smell gas? are you sure it's not leaking?

no spark, battery is new, everything plugged in, it only started to smell after i cranked it about 15 times.

where is ithe coil? i konw the rotor is under the distriburtor cap.... i'm guessing its one of those (never replaced it while i've owned the car)

you've flooded it. try triggering the unloader like we told you

it won't start at ALL i can't unload it (if you mean the unloading the fuel injector technique) if the car won't turn over at all

there isn't a spark like I said..... how do you get the rotor off? and where is the coil?
