Answerthis happened to my car and my mechanic friend helped to get it started by pouring a bit of gas into something, I'm not quite sure what it was, but it backfired when trying to start it, and it ignited the gas, so i wouldn't try that if i was you.. haha but in the end he just gave it hell and it started up and he told me to run fuel injector cleaner through it a couple of times, which you just mix in with the gas. that probably doesn't help much, but soon after that my battery completely died, so your battery may be going bad
