Apperently even after sitting for a couple hours it was so flooded from when there was no spark he didnt stand a chance he went old school on it and just put the peddle to the metal and it started.

It's always something you just don't think to tell someone, assuming that they must have already checked the obvious!

My daughter called me at work one day saying her car wouldn't start. Had her checking all kinds of stuff, from fuses to battery connection, etc. on the phone. She's over in West Palm, so I couldn't just drop by and take a look. Finally, I asked her if she could move it out of Park into Neutral and see if it would start. She said,"Oops, it's in 'D' right now"! She didn't tell me she had left her keys in there all night because she couldn't pull them out of the ignition. She had pulled in the night before while on the phone with her boyfriend, turned the car off before putting it in "Park", and couldn't get her keys out. Must be the Asian half of her!
