So I let the car sit in the garage for 1 day without driving, but today when I tried turning up the key it would only stays cranking, but it won't fire up at all!

I have tried changing the spark plugs, and even replaced the battery. But still didn't help at all!

What other cause and leads can lead to this problem?? Please help me asap as I need my car to work tomorrow. Thanks a million!

When you try cranking it up a few time do you start to smell gas? Like your engine is being flooded?

If so, unplug your ignition wire and give your car a good cranking for about 7-10 seconds... Plug it back in... and then step on the gas pedal (OPEN UP THE THROTTLE) and start it... let go of the gas pedal once that car started... If it doesn't work, try the process again...

let me know if this helps...
