Sounds like it is flooded. Did you try to unflood it? If you havent, try this. Open the hood, pull fuse cover off, remove 2nd fuse from the engine towards the fender, get in car, hold down pedal, crank for 20 secs, let off, put fuse back in, get back in car, dont touch pedal, crank, that should start it. You may have to do this more than once. If that wont work, you are seriousy flooded and will have to pull the plugs and do some other stuff, but that should get you going.
