hey guys my car wont start any more after i finish servicing it.. took it for a run and the just shutdown and stored on me...( in 2nd gear).... it still cranks but wont fire up...

i have tested it for spark and still spark in the leads,got a volt meter to test battery, ignition, distributor and they still have voltage....
i thought it could be my timing belt... so open up and still good no snap or cut to the belt..... what can it be guys????

could it be a blown head gasket? or cooked Ecu?

Last night, my car started fine, I shut it off and when I tried to start it again a few minutes later, it wouldn't. I remoevd the spark plugs and noticed they were soaked in fuel. I let them dry, put them back in and the car started fine. It was weird. First time it happened.

Thats because you went WOT and then turned your car off which means you sent a LOT of gas that hasnt been burned and it didnt went back to your tank.
It happened to me once. I had to wait 1h before the car decided to start.
