Did you recently start the car and then, after just a couple of seconds, turn it back off?

I did this!

I had to move it just a few feet and now it will not start. I even bought a new battery.

Anyone can help me with this?

I installed the new battery and still got the problem. Did the spark test and it was working fine so I took of the spark plugs again and checked them. Also tested the CMS and nothing. They where really wet so cleaned them and blew some air into the spark plug whole to remove excess gas. Put the spark plugs out cranked a few times and voila!

Search "lawn mower syndrome" on the site for some good arguments on why this happens. No matter the actual reason, it does happen and you aren't the first.
