Default 95gst cranking... cranking... cranking...

Ok like i stated in a previous thread. I just bought a 95gst. Car started and ran fine. After car was towed to my friends house. all it does is crank and crank and crank..... wont start. I thought car was out of gas so i bought some. Then i used engine degreaser and sprayed off with a water hose in the engine bay. Its been 2 days, should been dried out by now if that was the problem. Fuses are good. There is a buzzing noise coming from under passangerside dash once in awhile and it wont even crank at all. Wtf did i do to my new ride??

Just pull one plug wireout and ground it w/ a screw driver. Also check to see if you have fuel.

Well when you pull the plugs they will be wet and smell like fuel. You can also see if you can hear the fuel pump prime or spay 2+2 into the intake and see if it starts.

The car is a GSX, awd turbo just to make things clear. I must have been tired last night when posting this thread. and no its not getting any spark. Would this be my ignition module? or coilpacks? I believe autozone can test them both and see if there any good. Just wont have another day off till monday to check. If anyone has any other suggestions as to why its not getting spark please let me know b4 monday so i can check those as well.
thank you all
