UPDATE:

My car has electricial problems. For some odd reason the ignition won't spark and when i go to crank the car, cylinders get filled with gas...I dont know what the previous owner did to my car, but im going to get it fixed!

It could be a simple as blown coils, bad igniter, bad plugs, or bad wiring. Yes, when you aren't getting effective ignition, you will flood the engine with unburned fuel and have starting problems.

It's hard to say about the price, since you haven't specified the exact repair. Just watch they don't replace the coils and plugs in case it turns out the plugs were the problem.
