Gasoline FLooding I believe

Problem fixed!

If anyone cares to know what the problem was: Gasoline was bad. I realized that the gasoline wasn't burning when I got some on my fingers from the drenched spark plug, it smelled like poor poor gasoline. I tried to get it to burn (not on my finger) and it wouldn't even burn with a lighter! I drained the fuel out of the gas tank replaced it with new gas, and then had to spend a little time working the fresh new gasoline into the engine and getting the old gas out of the engine. Car runs like a charm.

wow that must have been some really bad gas. nice to hear you got it fixed. and i bet it only costed as much as the gas to replace it. could you imagine a mech trying to figure that out, and how much it would cost before he tried different gas.

yeah I know heh, that would have been crazy. A very simple problem solved but a problem big enough to keep the car from not running at all. Thanks everyone for all the help, really appreciate it.
