If your car won't start, I'll bet you have a thermostat failure. Unless something odd happened to cause a plug fouling condition. Much more likely that the thermostat has failed, causing of a no start condition. Does the cars dash indicate a temperature warning (red or yellow)?

I've had 2 bad spark plugs now, but they cause misfires, not the ability to start. Mini will tow it for free to the dealer, and will probably give you a loaner

It does sound like the thermostat issue, but he also posted this thread about breaking a wire while installing an air intake, so who knows.

yes I did post that. the reason I thinking it might be the plugs. is cause I think I might have flood the engine with fuel, trying to start the car to many time. and no I thing have the temperature warning. I have engine malfunction warning.

The spark plugs are a 12 point spline. http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_1...26-100289365-2
