Jake - you didn't happen to start your car and run it for a short time, not warming it up?

If so you may have suffered the lawn mower syndrome, whereby the car won,t start either because its valves are stuck, or the engine is flooded amd the plugs are fouled.

If this is the case, put the gas pedal on the floor and crank it and crank it without releasing the starter or the gas pedal.

It may start. If the problem was flooding, you now should change the oil and filter.

This is a common 850 ailment.
