I know you've seen this before...My car won't start!

I was at my auto body class tonight and I was cutting the cat off my car cuz I'm going to work on some custom exaust.Well I craked it to make sure it was ok with a slit in the pipe in front of the cat cuz I could not finish and I saw some blue flames told the other guy to rev my engine...and well hehe,rev it he did...THE DAMN CAR TURNED OFF!Now,I tried cranking,holding the pedal down and everything and I can not get it to come on.It sounds like it's not getting spark but we tested that...it's getting gas also.I really don't know what could have happend...anyone got a clue to what I ****ed up?

What kind of spark are you getting? Is it continous or is it just burping out a spark every onece in a while? Cahck all the plugs for spark as well, not just one. Is there a strong smell of gas? If there is then my guess is that it crapped out and flooded when you tried to start it.
