Easy question about spark plugs
If your spark plugs are soaked in gas when you take them out what's that typically mean? Could that be the reason my car isn't starting?

Yes. Have you had the distributor out? If so, it may be in 180 degrees off. What's the history prior to the engine not firing?

Re: Easy question about spark plugs (JMNBRZ)
I'd say that because your plugs are not firing, your car is not starting, and as a result, the plugs are soaked in gas. In my experience, if a cylinder even pops once, there won't be gas on the plugs.
Now, to guess the reason for no firing or not starting, we'd need more info...
