Bad Gas? Plug wires? Fouled plug? How many miles?

Sounds like someone poured something into your gas tank.

it could be flooded. with the fuel line hooked up, start it with the pedal floored, this will shut off the injectors. see if it starts that way. if it does start, keep it floored till it dies, then try starting it again. if it still won't run normally, change the plugs.

brought it to the dealer now the news is low compression in the 3 ,6 cylinders they want to take the top of the engine down to see if its the valves or somthing else in the top of the motor they are convinced the problem is in the top but then the service guy also said it may be a broke crankshaft isnt that in the bottom???? what would yall do from here

if it was a busted crankshaft... it wouldn't drive, at all. i would check out the ignition system.. bad coil packs/etc will cause a rich misfire.
