Hi...
Possibly you´ve already done it...
Remove the spark plugs, dry and clean them....
Once had non starting problem, on my 16v, due to "wet" plugs -The car was grounded for an entire week, till i get this checked...

Hope this helps

How much oil does the dip stick show?

Did you flush out hot oil, and replace with cold? Could this be a cause to the problem?
