The only quick fix that I can suggest is to disconnect those plugs where they push together and them give them a blast of Warm Air from a hand held Hair Dryer
Could it be a bad fuel filter or pump? It just doesn't sound like it's getting any fuel...before when I had the "wet" problem I could smell gas when I depressed the gas pedal - i don't smell any gas.

Hi Kariblay

There is a very long list of things that it could be and if you cannot hear the Fuel Pump run then it 'Could' be that

Bear in mind that the Fuel Pump only runs for 3 Seconds every time you turn the Key (on and off)

So try that first and let us know if you can hear the Fuel Pump run or not

Ok...after a few cleansing breaths...changed out the air temp sensor, front crank sensor, fuel filter and pump...now she starts better than ever and so far, all is well.

Keeping my fingers crossed!
