Good god man. Where did you learn to spell? If you're typing that
way because you think it's "cool" it's not and only makes you look
like an illiterate idiot. Leave it in the adolescent chat rooms.

And now for some tough love.

1. Your oil has absolutely nothing to do with your engine starting,
unless of course, you don't HAVE any oil and your engine is seized,
(which I doubt).

2. The size of the vehicle that's jumping your car has nothing to do
with the power of the battery. They're all 12v. The only difference
is the physical size and the cold cranking amps, which can vary
significantly based on what the manufacturer or owner put in their
vehicle.

3. If the car sat overnight, it isn't flooded.

4. Your coolant has *nothing* to do with your car not starting any
more than your windows have anything to do with your headlights
lighting up. The only time I can think of that this might not be true
is if your cylinders are flooded with antifreeze. And if that's the
case, you've got much bigger problems than just your car not starting.

5. Take your car to a certified technician. It's obvious that you
don't know squat about troubleshooting a car and you could end up just
doing more damage.

I know this sounds harsh, but really, your car isn't a video game.

Get someone to look at it that knows what they're doing.

This is sometimes the spark-plugs not igniting, as the starter for them has
water residue etc, which distributes the voltage incorrectly due to the
water.

Very very simple, bt try spraying some WD40 (you can be generous with it
too!) on the spark plugs from outside the engine-bay, and to the right, the
sparker. If in doubt, spray about
