yes, there is spark, we saw spark. the engine attempts to start, it almost does a little jerk trying. I haven't driven in any water. I'm located in Tampa FL. One thing someone said is that there wasn't the smell of gas on the spark plugs. He said he should be able to smell gas. I opened up the fuel rail and there is definately fuel there. all the fuses were checked and rechecked. Do you think it would be a wise investment for me to get one of those hand held diagnostic machines? I'm really at my wit's end here.
