First post,need some help to get car started.....
ok so here is the deal.I have a 98 honda civic and it started dying on me about a week ago....it would start up kinda sluggish but nothing serious,after a couple of day after that i would get to a stop light and the car would idle really low to the point to where it would just die on me but it would start right back up no problem but next stop same thing.So me and my dad started messing with it in the garage and we would take the spark plugs out and they would have alot of gas on a couple of them and we would clean them off and put them back in and it seemed the car would start fine after that and sometimes after putting the charger on it.So after a couple of days of that it started getting worse....it would die and we would have to do that cleaning process over and over about 4 times and then it would start....but it wouldnt start unless i had the gas floored and thats about it.
So last week after going to work it wouldn't start at all....we have tried everything we have before and nothing seems to get it going,it cranks fine and pretty fast but it wont turn over...it seems that if we leave it for a day and then we try it that it almost turns over but then after about 4 seconds of cranking it loses it and just goes back to cranking and cranking.....we thought maybe it was leaky injectors so the other day i got some off ebay that was on a car that had about 40,000 on it.WE thought that would fix it but it didnt....it seems to almost wanna turn over better but still wont start,only main difference that we both can tell is that now it seems to wanna start when i dont even push on the gas like it should be unlike it was with the other injectors when i had to hold the gas down....i think thats about all i can explain without knowing everything.....so it would be really great if anyone could help cause my car is at work and i cant tow it home.Anything else that maybe i missed that would help pls ask......thanks.

search "car wont start"
you'll get 400 or so results.
car wont start has the same answer, thats why you're not getting replies. it's been covered far too many times for people to repeat themselves.
and if you know you're getting fuel why would you buy new fuel injectors, seems odd to me.

quick update....i unplugged the outside injectors and had my friend spray carb cleaner in the intake and it will actuallt start but die when i try to see if it will idle cause i dont have all 4 plugged in.When i have all 4 plugged in and try the same thing with that spray it wont start up like that.....so whats up with that????
