Well, I hate making threads like this but I'm at a loss.

I live in Northern Ontario, so it's the dead of winter. That means sub zero temperatures, which can prove to be a pain in the *** when owning a car.

Long story short, I had to move my car out of the driveway 2 days ago so that my friend could move his vehicle. I started the car, let it idle for 20 seconds or so and backed it out of the driveway...he pulled out of the driveway, I pulled right back in and parked the car. It has since sat for 2 days. This morning I try to start the car at 10:00AM and the car cranks, fires, runs for a second, then dies. I try again and it does the same thing. Then it cranks and sputters a bit until finally it won't even sputter. This leads me to believe that it is a fuel issue because it seems as though the car ran on the fuel that may have been in the fuel rail but now that the fuel is gone it won't even sputter.

I believe I can hear the fuel pump prime the injectors when I turn the key forward but don't crank it.

I haven't had time to look over it too much because I've been busy this morning, but does anybody have any ideas?

It really seems like a fuel issue to me, but I will have to pull the plugs when I can get somebody to crank the car for me.

 

Check for bright white spark at the plugs. Any CEL codes?

 

Problem solved...no spark on any plugs...Instead they kind of just fizzled and smoked...They were all black, fouled out. Don't ask me how, but I fouled 4 plugs at once, unless somebody sabotaged me...4 new plugs and it fired right up.
