This car is driving me nuts.... (need help)

Hey guys,
I have a 90 TII with pfc, t4 etc.... The thing is im not running any boost (wastegate not hooked up).
Yesterday the car was running fine, purring, running a little rich but whatever, no big deal.
Then on the way home at 2am I was in second gear and for the hell of it gaver a little. Reved to about 6500rpm maybe less, didnt hear buzzer or anything, so no where near redline. I notice my injector duty cycle hit 88.1%!!!! These are stock injectors and my boost reads in the negative! Then the car dies, like immediatley after I let off throttle. I try to start it and nothing, it cranks but wont fire....
I thought it was flooded so i pulled the plugs, (which looked pretty wet, one looked soaked in oil) which are only 3 weeks old, and cranked it with the plugs out. Put the plugs back in and still nothin...It like catches barley and will keep catchin there, but wont fire.

I dont understand it....The engine has warranty on it, but its like im not getting fuel, or im getting too much... Anybody have any ideas?

Hey man, try pull starting the car it might be so flodded you have to do a pull start. I've had my car flooded so badly, that taking out the spark plugs and and cranking with the plugs out and the injector fuse not in did not clear it up. Try pull starting it! If it catches but runs really shitty, i hate to say this.. But check the compression
