Engine basics: Air + Fuel + Spark = Power just because a starter motor can turn the engine over does not indicate the engine is getting any of the above. Either your spark- plugs / ignition system, Fuel pump / injectors , or air intake is not functioning. You or a mechanic will have to check all of those aspects to determine what is wrong.

What would cause fuel to be in the spark plugs. How do we fix the problem. We put a fuel pressure gauge in it. The fuel is black in with the plugs.
