Either you're not getting spark or your injector(s) failed open. Engine faults are fuel, air, spark, or gasket related. You have fuel, and head gasket failures would allow oil and/or coolant in the chamber but it would fire (and you'd be losing oil or coolant). Not a lot of ways to screw up air flow besides vacuum leaks, but then it should still run, although badly. So, somethings not working. I'm fairly certain it's weak spark or way too much fuel. What's your spark plug gap?
