Hey everyone, Is this possible in a FI car even without jacking up the front? I did a tune up on my car and now it will not start. I keep adjusting and then turning it over (many many times) to no avail. When I pull the dip stick to check the oil it seems very thin (cold) and smells of gas. I heard the smell test doesn't work, but was curious if this could be the problem. After letting it sit overnight, I was able to start it and there were plums of bluish white exhaust, but then I let it, accidently, stall and it will not start again. I have spark and gas and it ran before the tune up. I was thinking maybe I tried too many times to start it flooding the darn thing, I depleted the battery more than once. Any ideas? Thanks, Jason T.
