Default HELP - Car wont start!!

The car sat for a couple of days. First time since I have had it that it has sat that long. Went to start it yesterday and it would not turn over. Took the plugs out and found they were wet with fuel. Cleaned up the plugs and let it 'dry out' a little bit. Would not start again. Finally got it to start after a while of playing but ran like ****. 200 rpm. Turned it off. It wants to turn over, it just seems like its not getting spark. Got new plugs, tried again today, same thing. Three of the plugs had no fuel on them and one had a little bit. Cant figure out what to do next. Any help would be awesome.

Engine is a GSR swap. Built bottom end. Never had any problems with it before I let it sit. This is all out of the blue. No to mention im in Colorado and it is damn cold, has not been over 35-40 degrees in a while.

It primes..the grounds are good. I am thinking it might be spark but I dont have anything to check it with. I have a feeling it might be in limp mode so its just dumping fuel in..

to check to see if its gettin spark, pull out one of ur spark plug wires, stick a screw driver into it, and hold onto the rubber,plastic part dont touch and metal and hold it about 1/2-1 inch from a bolt on the head, if you see a spark thats not your problem..
