ok didnt use the 98 classic impreza in the snow so the battery went flat, i used power pack 2 weeks ago and it started fine, then went away for a couple of weeks, with this snow its only been used once in the last 2 months, the battery was dead so i jumped it with my dads vitara diesel, is started but on 3 cylinders then went on to 4 but jumped back to 3 then was popping and banking and wouldnt idle, so i left it, since then i have charged the battery and went to start but with no success, all i smell is fuel, sounds like it wants to fire but doesnt, i think plugs, possibly coil, or a fuse possibly?

i have tried jumping it with other motors, but just no hope, any sugestions?

i got it running now, it was badly flooded, was going to change the plugs but decided to tow it to double check.
it was flooded and took a few bumps even when in 2nd gear and being towed.

it was rich because it wasn't producing a good enough spark.. therefore it wasn't actually rich the problem was the lack of spark
