Car Won't Start, Possibly Flooded
My car wouldn't start this morning. The engine cranked, but wouldn't catch. The starter would only kick on for about two seconds. After a few more tries, I tried jumping it. I held down the start button and the starter motor engaged the engine. It seemed like the engine wanted to catch and start (around 500 rpm), but was just short of doing so. Afterwards, I smelled some gas.
Since it was dark and I had to get to work, I left the car as-is and drove another one. I won't be able to look at anything until tonight.
My guess is that the cylinders are flooded with gas. What are some of the first things I should look at when I get home? I did a bit of searching and it looks like I should pull injectors and spark plugs. Anything else?
Thanks for any help you can provide!

I don't think your cylinders are flooded with gas, what kind of mods are done to your car? If it has a cold air intake I hope water didn't get in and hydro lock.....pull the spark plugs and try cranking it so the water can be expelled, if you do a search there are multiple threads about this issue
