Car wont Start...

Well its been a while since ive been on here or even communicated with any of you. ive been busy with school and work and really no time for anything. anyways past couple days have been horrible for me and my car. 91 camaro tbi 305, saturday i woke up went to my car and was going to head to my gf parents house for a bbq i car started to mess up, i try to start my car but wouldnt it would crank but would not fire. after about 7-8 trying it finally started, ive been having a ruff idle whenever i wasnt on the pedal my car would shake bad and like real sluggish. got to where i was going fine about 1. around 7 i tried to start my car to make sure it still started worked great no problems. then tried around 1am when i was leaving and same thing happened but this time i saw smoke under my hood so i lefted my hood and there was liquid on top of my air filter didnt smell like gas. well started it after 7-8 times and was real sluggish felt like it was flooded. drove home went to the store and filled up my car with gas because i figured maybe it was bad gas. so this morning went to go start my car to head to my gf parents house again and my car wont even crank, i put the key in and turn it but nothing happens, my headlights work and dash likes and cigarette lighter works. my power locks wont work, my battery is good got it tested and my light under the hood works. but cant get any action to happen when i put the key in and turn it or even lock my car. if you have any information please let me know. and sorry so long and if you need any info please let me know


Thanks Tj

Re: Car wont Start...

do you get ignition lights when you turn the key?
I'm thinking ign switch but also against it due to the door locks being non operational.
Are you able to test for 12V at ignition etc.
Time for some wire testing.

I'll assume that you did in fact check all the relevant fuses.
