Car was running great when garaged two weeks ago. Turns over easily and fast, does not slow when cranking more than a few seconds, interior and dash lights come on so guessing battery is okay. Pulled one sparkplug; it looked okay, just light grey dusting from normal use (Bosch Platinum). I put a balled-up paper towel tight against the sparkplug hole and turned over engine for about 12 seconds; afterwards, the paper towel had only very faint "gas or oil" smells. Fuel problems...? If so -- as noted -- car ran perfect on its last outing. Working alone so can't do the ground-sparkplug-to-block test (can't turn over engine and be under the hood at the same time! or I can't anyway). If anyone has next-step ideas I would be grateful for any-and-all information. Thanks!
