Have you tested the camshaft position sensor and crankshaft position sensor? The remote start could be a possibility and if it's simple to disable I'd try it but testvthe senors first with a volt meter capable of measuring ohms/resistance. If you haven't interfered with any wiring related to the remote start system it's doubtful to be at fault, take a look at it. Did you unhook the battery for a few minutes just to rule that out? Is it displaying any CEL/MIL or trouble codes?
Best of Luck My Friend, Have a Great Day! No worries, we know it's something simple and you'll get it!!!
SOURCE: Car getting too much fuel at spark plugs
Hello Velma!
It sounds like ther might be an intermittent ignition (spark) problem... when the plugs don't fire, they will get wet with fuel...
So check all of the ignition components, make sure there are no loose connections to the coils are plug wires.
It is also possible that there might be a problem in the fuel injection, such as an injector stuck open and continuously feeding fuel to its cylinder (which would show as only ONE plug being wet), or possibly a bad fuel pressure regulator, letting fuel pressure in the injector rail go too high and causing an over-rich mixture and engine flooding (symptomatic of ALL plugs being wet).
Once the engine is "flooded" it is sometimes hard to "clear" the engine with modern injection systems, but try this: Hold the accelerator to steadily to the floor while cranking --- DO NOT PUMP THE PEDAL! --- This will allow the maximum amount of air to mix with the overage of fuel in the cylinders and help the engine to eliminate the excess without also adding too much back in...
If you still can't get it to fire off doing the above, then remove the fuel pump relay or fuse and repeat the above until the engine tries to run.... It will run briefly until it fuel starves and dies. Then replace whichever you removed and try starting again with fuel delivery back in service.
Velma, I would have answered this sooner, but I've been on a "road trip" and only recently got back home. If you still have problems, please post a comment describing as best you can the situation --- you have to be my eye, ears, nose, and hands in this long distance effort! Also let me know why the head gasket blew, if known... Racing or overheating? If this does help, please remember to rate my assistance --- your approval is my ONLY compensation for providing this help!
Thanks!

if it sounds like it is trying to start you possibly have the firing order off. if that is not the case I would recheck the timing of belt to make sure you dont have one tooth off. stuff like that is so aggrivating, but if you have fuel and fire all you are missing is compression,if firing order isnt off, valves not being completely closed whent they need to be. due to improper timing.

I had the same problem with my chevy s 10 I got a new rotor button and new distributor cap and it fired right up!! what happens is over time the gold covering on the rotor button wares off and no longers sends a spark to the plugs. A new rotor button is in the 5 to 10 dollar range and a new distributor cap is arounds 20 to 30 dollars!! good luck bro,

Sound like an air / vacuum leak to me.
Re-check for an air leak on #2 cylinder inlet manifold.
Use a propane torch (unlit, of course) to flood propane gas around inlet manifold/head flange & gasket area.
If there is any change in idle speed during this test you have a vacuum leak.

Are you sure you have correct timing? its definetly a fule problem, if timing is good then turn your key to the on position and try to listin for the fule pump to prime. While the key is in on position go to fuel rail, there is a valve on fule rail called sharader valve. Get a small screw driver and press valve in to check if car has fule pressure. if pressure is present then it is incorrect timing or possible bad cam sensor.

Thanks for the response i ended up figuring it out the people that had it before me switched the camshaft sensor and the crankshaft sensor up switched them back and boom fired right up now dealing with speedometer not working urgg but again thanks for your response
