So I have this 95 Civic. The car ran fine, then after a few days of snow, and not driving it, it wont start. I just put in a brand new starter and new spark plugs, thinking it was the plugs and starter (the starter was bad). When I crank the car it makes a whining sound, like the starter motor is running, but it is not starting. I pulled the plugs, dried them off, (covered in gas) and checked for sparks. They are pretty dim and the sparks are orange. And from trying to start the car so much, I think the engine is flooded with gas. I dumped a little bit of oil down the spark plug holes, cranked it for a good 15 seconds, then put the spark plugs back in. I heard a couple of popping noises and saw black smoke, but no start. I really need to get my car started and running. Any help is appreciated!
