ok, still no luck, i think the problem is that it isn't getting spark. so i am getting ready to go take out the spark plugs and see if they are sparking. if they arn't sparking, then where should i go from there?( i hope there not). if they are sparking im going to pull my hair out, because i have no idea what to do next. any one out there with any ideas, please help

Are you sure the battery is good?? if not the low voltage may be shutting off the fuel injection...
otherwise if the plugs are not sparking then it might be the ignition system is having issues..either way it needs to visit a shop for inspection

when you where filling her up was there a gas tanker putting gas back in to the gas station.? sometimes when the gas station is getting there tanks filled it may stir up possible water in those tanks which could cause you while pumping to fill your gas tank with some water.
my guess is to drain the tank and get some fresh gas or get some water remover and see what happens b4 you take the plugs out..

hope that helps. good luck!

ok ok ok... im a moron. i took everything apart and the fuel pump was pumping, so i lookes down the throttle body and the injectors were spraying properly. so i took out the plugs and each were sparking, but they all looked s@#t. the fuel was greener than normal. so one of my buddies asked if i put dieasel in it. i told him i wasn't stupid. and it wasn't possible, because i thought the island that i used didn't even have dieasel. so we went and checked. sure enough, i knew as soon as i seen it. we drained the tank completly, filled it with gas, redrained it, then filled it up again, cleaned the 30$ plugs and it fired right up. yes i know i'm a moron.

I'll give you this -- you are a real man for admitting it. Most peeps would lie and say the dog ate their rectifier[8D] Glad ya figured it out -- I was stumped big time.
