Volks,
Well, I left my radio on while trying to figure out what the *&#@ is going on. So I get the battery load checked and recharged. Put it back in and the the engine won't turn over. I check the oil level and it's way high and smells of gasoline. A neighbor tells me it's due to "hydraulicking". The injectors are putting fuel into the cylinders and now they are loaded with gas and the pistons can't compress this. Hence no turn over. I drain the oil and it smells of gas too. Turned the engine over by hand to drain the cylinders. Refilled the oil and it still won't turn over but I can do it by turning the crank shaft pulley. Bad starter now?
I might join Larry and sell.............no wait I've come to my senses but what do ya'll think is going on now? Help please....................

To add insult to injury I somehow managed to tear a nice hunk of skin off my hand while turning the crankshaft pulley over without gloves on..............man I like being a weekend mechanic..........maybe I should do it for a living and starve to death
