Question
QUESTION: Car won't start and fuel is getting into my air filter.

ANSWER: Hi there.
Raw fuel into the snorkel and air filter??? sounds like the fuel pressure regulator is ruptured and filling the intake manifold up with fuel and it's running back into the snorkel.. with out seeing it that is my best guess. you will need to get that replaced and then the spark plugs take out and replaced or cleaned and it should start once the fuel evaporates. Good luck :-}

QUESTION: Ok that was a great idea it's not leaking gas into air filter but she still isn't turning over. We have air we have fuel and we have spark. We are at a loss. Please help

Answer
it will not crank over and or the start doesn't even click? if the start clicks but the engine doesn't turn over it's quite possible that the engine is hydro locked with fuel. where did the fuel in the air filter come from. when I say hydo locked I mean if a cylinder is full of gas it will not compress and the engine will not turn over. remove the soark plugs and try to turn the engine over by the crank shaft balancer bolt.
