Well my car just died last week while driving....it had the symptoms of a flooded engine so I changed the sparkplugs and it started right back up.

Well after 10 miles the car died again...same symptoms....the RPM just drops to zero and it will not turn over.

Any ideas??? Help me please!!!

It died on you while driving? MIght be electrical, battery starter or something of that nature if you cant crank it.

it will not turn over? a flooded car will crank faster than normal. a car with bad plugs will also crank. check the battery, charging, and ignition circuits. this includes the spark plug wires and coils.

have you done the poor mans compression test? do you have fuel flow? if spark is ok compression is ok and u have fuel, no flooding, sounds like some diging rember KISS keep it simple,stupid.
