car won't start...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

before i replaced the coil the car didn't even want to start. also that car has a 3" racing beat exhaust, hks bov, 255 walbro fuel pump and some other little things. when it starts it just shakes and misses like the wires are on backwards.

still looking for some more ideas if anyone would like to help... it seems like the car is getting way to much fuel but it really isn't flooding out when i try to start. it starts to flood then it trys to start. when i take the plugs out there soaked and theres even gas dripping out of the exhaust manifold when i'm trying to start it. is it possible for the timing to be pretty far out? its a jdm engine and it doesn't look like the timing was ever messed with the metal retainer is still on the bolt that you have to loosen when you adjust timing. Any ideas?? thanks again..
