have you tried the ATF trick yet?

Here's more info:

That *should* help the car to unflood.

Also, look at your spark plugs, be sure they're not covered in fuel, if so, they may be fouled out, and you'd have to get new ones.

I had the same problem. If the ATF trick alone does not work, add more ATF and have someone in a truck push your car, and pop the clutch in 2nd gear. This finally worked for me.
