Question

any ideas?

read this on another website could this be the problem or not?
When the Crankshaft Position Sensor goes BAD on your Mitsubishi vehicle, the car will Crank but NOT Start. Usually this will cause a No Spark Condition on all of the cylinders.

Answer
Ryan,
As you read from the other site, you may have a timing issue, as fuel is getting to your cylinders but there is no spark.  Now that your spark plugs are fowled, they will have to be replaced along with addressing the bigger issue.  This may be an ignition timing problem caused by a bad cam shaft sensor or even slipped timing belt.  Have a mechanic inspect your ignition timing and other related electrical components for the root cause of this problem.
Good luck!
