no, i dont hear any humming or anything, but after i turn the car off it clicks twice. and the tank was not filled for the last 2 months, but it is ran almost everyday for about 5 minuts. and the person who has it at there house said he was just going to start it and run it for the few minuts he does everyday and it just stopped after about 30 seconds. also idk if this means anything but i do smell gas if i pump the peddle when im turning it over, so wouldn't that mean the fuel pump is fine?

ok, i checked all plugs and they work, i am currently letting it sit with the plugs out and gunna try starting it tomorrow after school. i think that will work cuz i let them sit out today for about an hour and tried it and it started for like 2 seconds then it would do what it was doing.. its very cold out so i figured it would take a while to get it all out. well we will see

well we tried it today and it didnt start. my grandpa called one of the local shops here and they said to check the ecm(?) fuse or also it may be the computer because when we try to start and after there is a clicking sound.

idk bro, when we were checking the plugs and had them out, after he turned it over like twice i could smell fuel already. and when we put it back together it sounded like it was gunna start but then failed. but i think that you should get new plugs jeremy, cuz they did look like a week *** spark on 2 or 3 of the 4. and your grampa sanded the carbon off with like 80 sandpaper, in my other post i was told thats to rough on spark plugs. and there only like $3 each so save your lunch money for like 4 days. haha
