fuel in your intake??? what about your cam alignment? could be that your valves aren't opening at the right time. Where in your intake are you getting fuel? I assume you mean in the intake manifold?? Anyway try a shot of starting fluid and clean plugs and don't be afraid to crank it for a while, its not uncommon for them to take a while to get going.
