Ok I pulled all 8 plugs & they smell like gas & are Black at the tips. Putting in fresh plugs. Anything else I should check while I have the plugs & valve covers off

It's actually pretty simple. There are only 5 things that make a motor run. Air, Fuel, Spark, Compression, and timing. Hook a fuel pressure gauge to the fuel rail. Turn key on and see if you are getting at least 55 psi. If so, pull spark plug wire off plug, jump it to a ground, have someone turn it over and see if it gets spark. Or pull plug, plug wire back on to spark plug, set plug by a ground and see if it sparks. If no spark could be crank position sensor, If sparking and getting fuel, could be cam sensor.
If your car ran fine before, doubt your tune is the problem.
I will be moving to Longview, TX in a week, and can help you out. Don't sell or piece it out. It is really a simple deal. I am shooting you a pm.

I think u fouled ur plugs. If were u i would disconect the fuel pump or fuel injectors and turn the engine over w/o the plugs to make sure there is no fuel left in there. once u get the new ones in hopefully everything should be ok. dont throw the towl in yet sebastian.

Good Deal! Curious why they fouled in the first place. Maybe not letting it run long enough when you do your weekly/monthly starting?
Hope you get your tranny fixed soon so you can get it out on the road.
