HELPPP please

so i went to start the car this morning and usually in the cold shes a little hard to start but this morning it wouldnt start up just crank over and sometime almost start but just not get all the way there then end up flooding so i pulled the plugs and theres a puddle of fuel in cylinders 1 and 3 so i let it air out and tried again same thing... went and got new plulgs tried again same thing, then my friend pointed out the my cam position sensor was barely hanging on so you guys think that could be the reason or do i now have 2 problems on my hand??

What exactly do you mean when you say your cam sensor was barely hanging on?

can you post a pic of the sensor? Im not so sure its just plugs my man.. Just because there is fuel in there doesn't always mean the plugs are trashed. It hsouldn't spark if timing is way off, or sensor not reading.. might need to throw a multimeter on there too, but really need to see pics of how the cam sensor looks.

man this is the second time ive done it! just crakced it last week also by tightening a manifold bolt and hand slipped off the wrench, this time however i have no idea what happened, im guessing it was when i was tightening the oil feed line but i dont remember coming close to it but that the only thing ive done to the car since then so i guess i bumped into ti again damn another 75 bucks for that thing

I agree. I had a friend that cracked one and I tried to fix it temporarily with duck tape. He didn't make it very far.
