need help badly

I have an rx7 twin turbo type r special edition 1999. The engine got flooded the other day when i left my car with my friend for a week. surely u can understand that my friend doesnt have any idea regarding this car.
So to unflood the engine i used the ATF method.also i'd like to point out that i did change my engine oil too after that.
following the ATF process i did manage to unflood the engine to some extent and the engine started. However after running for a while it gave up .same thing happened again. the rpm dies out. What can possibly cause the problem?? can you please help me out here. I'm from Bangladesh and this is the only rx7 here in town so u can understand that there are no dealers as well......no workshops either.
Thanks
eagerly waiting for your replies
