Default No movement?

Hey guys,
just went out to run my ntc3. Engine fired up right off as usual. I applied some throttle and the engine only revved. I stopped it, checked all the diffs and wheels and everything else i can think of. Tried again and the same thing happened. What am I not looking at?

... check the clutch and everything else one the drivetrain. Most likely its ur cluctch not engaging because of damge or its just set to engage at a too high or a rpm.

its gotta be the clutch shoes or a loose flywheel check to see if you can turn the flywheel without the piston moving

I got the wheels to move..but now when they do there is a popping sound. I changed the settings back to factory set and now there is fuel coming out of the exhaust? WHAT IS GOING ON? The car ran fine until a few days ago and now everything is going down the tubes.

If theres fuel spitting out of the the exhaust then that means its too rich. Make sure theres no rocks jamming anything and make sure that the wheel nuts arent too tight.

Firstly...engine is too rich, that is why you are getting fuel out of the exhaust. You can fix that by closing in (clockwise) the HSN 1/8th of a turn at a time until you can get the car to hit full revs with a nice trail of smoke coming out of the pipe.
Regarding the popping noise you describe - can you be more specific, where is it coming from?
You should check - clutch shoes - see whether the are glazed and so this will cause it to slip. You can solve this by rubbing them down with fine grit paper.
Check engine mounting screws and engine alignment .
Check your diffs.
