If this is indeed fuel saturated and the gas is in the engine oil, I recommend an oil change ASAP. |

Ashley,
Jeff's right, you're badly flooded. Cleaning the plugs doesn't get enough of the gas out of the cylinders to let the engine start before the plugs get too petrol soaked to fire.
1st you need to get the gas out of the cylinders.
Try the following standard cure for massive flooding:
1) Find the power fuse for the ignition system & remove it.(You want to keep the ignition coils from firing.)
2) Pull all the spark plugs, clean them again. They should be petrol soaked. If not, then stop & ask for help again.
3) Clean the plugs again & set them aside.
4) Turn the engine over for 3-4 seconds. It will spin freely & will blow the gas out of the spark plug holes. If someone can watch the engine, they can tell you when nothing more is coming out of the spark plug holes.
5) Put about 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon of motor oil into each spark plug hole. Then turn the engine over for about a second. This will distribute the oil re-lubricate the rings & cylinders, restoring compression.
6) Re-install the plugs & ignition fuse.
7) Start the engine.
It should start right up. If it doesn't, then you've developed a new problem such as injectors stuck open.
If you have compressed air, you can try just pulling the plugs & blowing air down into each cylinder thru the spark plug hole. This often is sufficient to get enough petrol out to let the engine start. If not, then try the above procedure. |

First off it sounds like a massive flooding, and apparently when cranking the fumes in the intake were ignited and caused the smoke out of the air intake. Did you crank the motor a lot prior to checking for spark? If you do get it to fire up, all will probably be fine. But I would pull the dipstick and check the oil, is there fuel in there? If so then maybe you have a leaky fuel injector or injectors, and possibly "washed down" cylinders. Just my opinion at this point. |
