Year? Model?

You might have flooded the engine with gas, which is making it difficult to get the car to start. Thats the first thing that comes to my mind.

maybe you got the fuel shutoff switch flipped somehow, did you check that?


is it even possible to flood a fuel injected car with gas?

Replace the word flooded with having over-fueled lines.

Have you tried hitting the gas pedal as you try to crank?
