they say you need 3 things to create combustion, fuel, spark, and air.
sounds like you have already figured out fuel and spark, have a look around the air intake/throttle body for any blockages perhaps?

did you do a throttle body clean before or after it started to happen?

other than that.... umm you definately sure all plugs are sparking? could be a distrubutor problem

LOL...They stopped putting a distributor on the sixes back with the 202 VK...

I reckon most probablly the crank angle sensor stuffed... do search for the code page on this forum and check what fault code you have...there's a tuto somewhere on here...here it is...

The fact that the plugs are wet with fuel could be no spark or that it is dumping to much fuel caused by maybe a faulty temp sensor etc, remove your fuel pump fuse and try and crank and dry them off.
have you checked that all cylinders are sparking?

Just a thought
Name of thread should be not firing as it is kicking over.
