Hello All,
I connected the battery turned it over for 5-7 seconds..nothing
after about 3 mins of this it started to putter then I smelled the gas so I stopped.
The motor didn't have any unusual noises.
I removed the air box

The oil is the new oil I put in it yesterday...what could that mean, besides flooding?
As you can see there is a lot of oil on the front of the engine, I did this close-up of the closest coil

Found service records in the glove box, let's hope some of his records got lost!
Looking at the records he replaced the plugs back in Jan 2015 between oil changes 131K and 141K. On the 141K service (148K total) it was noted:
“STARTING DIFFICULTIES”
“CUSTOMER AWARE”
Looking at the picture the coils are oem and I saw the blue&green tape on the wires.
I think the oil killed a coil or damaged a wire.
When I have more time to get dirty:
Continue to remove items to get to and remove the coils and wires
Clean them up
Test them
Then order new ones any way..
Read what JL1RX7 said about the mass air flow sensor and took these two pictures of the air box

Bit of cleaning and maybe new air filter?
