car won't start. msq-log attached
My car was working perfectly a few weeks ago, now it will not start. I messed with req fuel and lowered it down and then up to see if cranking pws were too rich or lean. I can crank and crank and no dice. It won't even try to start.
I pulled the spark plugs and they are almost black and wet. I let the engine ventilate for 3 hours and put the plugs back in and nothing, it will crank but it does not fire at all.
I am running rc 550 injectors, mspnp1.

Does anyone have a suggestion? I have spent several hours trying to start the car, changed the cranking PWs, tried using a lower Req fuel...all it does is backfire like crazy. Am I doing something wrong? How do other people start their cars in cold weather?
The plugs are soaked in gas, I take them off, dry them, use compressed air to dry the pistons, still wont start. I do have good spark....

My coolant sensor is reading the wrong temp, it says 60F and I tested the coolant with a thermometer and it reads 42F, MAT is 42F as well.
So in other words, it should be lean, not rich..but it is backfiring

The gaps were set to 0.028" buy I am running stock ignition. I left the gap on the new sparks the way they come in the box but now it backfires when cruising so I'll need to close the gaps a little or just install my cops
