im just studying for my permit

Answer 1

well ill be short..pretty much when either of 2 items fail, either too little air or spark to ignite fuel, usually due to clogged air filter, bad injectors, bad cap, rotor, sparkplugs or wires, even a faulty sensor will do this for u...now if not that bad  u can probably let it rest for about a mint. to about 30 depending on how long uve been trying to crank, when it does turn on keep the gas pedal depress engine rev and take it to the nearest shop*****

Answer 2

That's when the engine has an excessively rich air and fuel mixture .
