Oil around the spark plugs!!!

You may have just saved my life, thank you very much. If we were drunk, I would simply say, "I love you man". But we aren't, so a simple thanks in order. A bIG thanks.

ok, I just got through cleaning the valey out and around the spark plugs, I couldn't take the plugs out because I don't have extention I need. But the car still won't start. Same thing, cranks ok, but won't start up. So I'll get the extention tomarrow and pull em' out and clean em' up. But if this doesn't work, could there be anything else. I mean this just happened over night, so I don't think it's the timing. Any clues?

i think you just pulled the wiring from coil packs
check that

You need to pull one plug wire off a plug, then stick a screwdriver in the end and hold the screwdriver shaft about 1/4" away from some metal on engine. Have someone crank the engine and see if there is spark jumping to ground. Yes? then you have spark.
No? then you have an ignition problem.

Yes, spark, then you may have a fuel delivery problem. If so, then the test procedures are in the TSRM, but you may need professional help.

no, I have taken the coil packs off twice to clean the valey and the area around the spark plug. And I have check all the connecting wires and nothing is disconected. I wish it were that easy...trust me. Good new though, I am learning about my car! Experience is COOL. MRNICKLEYE, thanks alot for your help, I will try your idea tomarrow at the butt crack of dawn. Here's hoping!
